Use the instructions below to submit a post with your trinket embedded into it.
Replace tommytester with your author name, and the title with whatever you choose
Writing about Code
Programmers often need or want to share their work with others. We’re going to do that by making a jekyll post with our code, a screenshot of our picture, and any thoughts or reflections we have on the experience.
First you need a header:
--- layout: post author: tommytester title: "Tommy's Reflection on the Class So Far" ---
Then, under the hyphens, put the content of your post, and format it so that your interactive code and static code blocks will show up.
Reflection Text
Include your pre-composed reflection on the class so far in the post. You can paste the text into github and click on the Preview pane to see what it will look like. From there, you’ll need to do a little bit of reformatting.
Interactive Code
To include embedded interactive trinkets in your post, go to your Trinket program(s) and follow the instructions here to get the embed code.
Then, paste the code into the text of your post. At this point your post will look something like this:
---
layout: post
author: tommytester
title: "Tommy's Reflection on the Class So Far"
---
Here's the program I'm embedding:
<iframe src="https://trinket.io/embed/python/c26c35e489" width="100%" height="356" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Static code blocks
Add at least one static code block to your post, containing excerpts from your embedded program.
If you want to display code that’s not interactive (to talk about something you did, for instance), the cool grey boxes above come from telling Jekyll that we’re about to write code using backticks: `
```
# Look what I did here:
tess = turtle.Turtle()
tess.color("blue")
tess.pensize(3)
tess.forward(50)
tess.left(120)
tess.forward(50)
```
Here’s that code rendered by Jekyll:
# Look what I did here:
tess = turtle.Turtle()
tess.color("blue")
tess.pensize(3)
tess.forward(50)
tess.left(120)
tess.forward(50)
Images
Finally, if you need to embed an image, do it thusly:
That code looks like this:
