• Instructions are provided on the site. You want to check "included" on items you want to include in the data file
• Check "Text?" on Abstracts and Titles
• You'll want some sort of identifier. We've used the Timestamp in the past. Check "Slugify?" for this value

layout: presentation
speakers-text: [Presenter-Name]
speakers:
- [Presenter-Email-1|hash]
- [Presenter-Email-2|hash]
- [Presenter-Email-3|hash]
- [Presenter-Email-4|hash]
- [Presenter-Email-5|hash]

group: [Group]
spot: [Spot]
length: [Length]
type: talk
categories: talks
startTime: [StartTime]
endTime: [EndTime]

Values in brackets [] represent Spreatsheet Column Labels. For the initial ingest, it is not necessary to have all the values (e.g., day, group, spot, length) as these will be decided later.

Unzip the resulting file and put contents into /_posts

/talks/index.html should now have all the selected talks
