How to Write and Publish Your First Blog Post – part of codebar Festival 2026

As part of codebar Festival, during this virtual technical workshop with Hugh Evans, we’ll cover the why, what, and how of writing blogs: digging into the benefits of blogging, how to find topics to write about, tips for the writing process, and how to get your work out there.

You’ll leave with an outline of a blog that could be used to create a submission for the codebar blog. You’ll also get first-hand experience of creating a blog using Markdown and Jekyll, and will raise a pull request to contribute their work to a shared repository.

This workshop will be virtual and held on Zoom, you’ll receive the Zoom link on the morning of the workshop. This will be recorded and uploaded to our YouTube channel after. If you have any questions, please drop us an email [email protected].
