We now keep this page reliable by publishing SECQUOIA news directly on the
website instead of relying on an external LinkedIn widget. The news cards
below are the canonical archive for announcements, tutorials, and milestones.
</p>
<p>
We still share highlights on LinkedIn, so you can follow the group there for
social updates and then return here for the full website archive.

To publish a new update on this page, add a dated post in <code>_posts/</code>
with a WebP image and run <code>./validate.sh</code> before opening a pull
request.

- Target WebP quality (~70–85) balancing size vs clarity.
- Keep typical member photos < 300KB; large hero/banner images ideally < 1MB.
- Original files can remain for future recompression or alternative formats if needed.

## News Page Maintenance

The news page at `3-news.md` intentionally uses the local Jekyll post archive
instead of a third-party LinkedIn embed. This keeps the page stable in GitHub
Pages builds and avoids broken or stale social widgets.

To publish a news update:

1. Add a new Markdown file under `_posts/` named
`YYYY-MM-DD-short-title.md`.
2. Include the usual front matter (`layout`, `title`, `description`, `date`,
and `image`).
3. Store the referenced image in `assets/images/` as a `.webp` file.
4. Run `./validate.sh` before opening a pull request.

If you also want the update on LinkedIn, publish the website post first and
then share the matching announcement on the SECQUOIA LinkedIn page.
