Updating This Site

This file is the short operational checklist for making routine updates to the site at https://cwatson1998.github.io/.

Files You Will Usually Touch

• _config.yml for site-wide metadata and behavior.
• _pages/index.md for the homepage content.
• _data/navigation.yml for the header links.
• _publications/*.md for publication entries.
• _teaching/*.md for teaching entries.
• files/ for downloadable PDFs and supporting files.
• images/ for profile photos and other static assets.

Typical Update Workflow

1. Edit content.

2. Preview locally with:

   bundle exec jekyll serve -l -H localhost
   

3. If you changed JavaScript, rebuild the minified bundle:

   npm run build:js
   

4. Run a production-style build check:

   bundle exec jekyll build
   

5. Push to GitHub and confirm the published site at https://cwatson1998.github.io/.

Notes

• old_html_website/ is a legacy archive and is excluded from the Jekyll build.
• The Penn-hosting deployment script is retained only as a legacy/manual fallback; see DEPLOYMENT.md.
• future: true is enabled, so future-dated entries can appear in the generated site.
