The C3 Inspire website is powered by Jekyll, documentation is available here.
Jekyll allows you to create HTML pages and blog posts from plain text. It supports "templates" and "includes" to make reusing common layouts and elements much easier. Take a look at the files in this repository for examples of how this works.
Blog posts are written using a syntax called Markdown, the basics of which are explained here.
It provides an easy way to format plain text with headers, emphasis, lists, links, and images. A Markdown tutorial is available here and you may experiment with the syntax here.
