How to add/edit courses
Either talk to your developer, or follow the instructions at Introduction for site developers in order to get a copy of the site that you can work on.
AI-assisted approach
If you use an AI coding tool, you can ask it to review this site and to add the courses you need, with appropriate connections to the skills.
Manual approach
-
Find the courses in
collections/_courses/. Each course has its own file, each containing two parts: the frontmatter (between---markers), the content (below the second---marker). The frontmatter helps to keep things organised. The content is anything that helps fill out the description of the course. Like the categories, the frontmatter contains a list ofkey/valuepairs. -
Either edit a file, or create a new one, ensuring the frontmatter exists correctly.
-
Edit the related skills to include any new course references as required.
