Blog Migration TODO

1) Identity and Core Config

• Update _config.yml name/email/url/social handles.
• Extract and set scholar_userid correctly.
• Rename projects page title/permalink to blog (/blog/).
• Optional: set title in _config.yml (currently blank).
• Optional: set keywords in _config.yml.

2) About + CV (owner edits)

• Rewrite _pages/about.md with personal bio and links.
• Update _pages/cv.md to your own CV filename.
• Replace old CV PDF in assets/pdf/ with your file.
• Replace profile image in assets/img/prof_pic.jpg (if needed).

3) Content Cleanup (template -> yours)

• Review and replace/remove all _news/*.md sample announcements.
• Review and replace/remove all _projects/*.md old content.
• Remove placeholder/sample images not used anymore in assets/img/.

4) Decide Blog Structure

• Decide whether /blog/ should use:
  • Real posts in _posts/ (recommended for blog flow), or
  • Existing card-style entries from _projects/.
• If using _posts/, create first 1-2 posts and adjust nav/page wiring.

5) Publications (next round)

• Replace _bibliography/papers.bib sample entries.
• Update _data/coauthors.yml (if publication linking is needed).
• Update _data/venues.yml (if venue badges/colors are used).
• Update Scholar-related display details as needed.

6) Git + Publish

• Add your new remote:
  • git remote add origin https://github.com/<your-username>/<your-repo>.git
• Ensure .gitignore excludes build output and cache (especially _site/).
• Create first clean commit.
• Push to GitHub.
• Enable GitHub Pages and verify site loads at your URL.

7) Final Quality Check

• Run local preview and click through all nav pages.
• Check for old owner name/email/links still visible.
• Check broken images and broken links.
• Verify mobile layout and dark mode.
