https://github.com/OBF/OBF.github.io/blob/main/content/posts/YYYY-MM-DD-event-fellowship-blog-template.md and/or the main README should be more explicit about images, but we're looking at a maximum width/height of 1024 pixels to keep the file sizes reasonable.

Could you resize them please and update the branch? Thank you

I'm glad you had a good time and a welcoming atmosphere. Thank you for the write-up.

The text reads well - my suggestions are just suggestions, you can ignore them all.

I would ask you check the image sizes though. One of the downsides of moving to the Hugo platform on GitHub Pages for our website is having to think about this and manage image sizes directly - compared to a platform like WordPress which ought to handle this automatically.

This is why we normally try to review posts in a gdoc before they are made into a PR! 😅

I don't think there's much point in my doing a review until Peter's suggestions have been responded to, so I'll give this "approve after changes".

We should do a squash-and-merge so that only the smaller photos are recorded in the history.
