Directions for adding images:
-
Create a folder for your project images in the “images” folder in the GitHub repo files. This is where you will add all of the images associated with your write-up.
-
Add links to your images using the following absolute path:
![Description of the image]({{ site.baseurl }}/images/projectname/myimage.png)
Here’s an example:
![Value Stream Mapping]({{ site.baseurl }}/images/orckestra/orckestra2.jpg)
Note that capitalization of the file name and the file extension must match exactly for the images to render properly.
