+### Adding a new story
+
+Under the `stories` directory, create a new folder with the name `YYYY-MM-DD-
` and place your notebook inside there.
+Make sure you have already run all the cells in your notebook.
+That's all!
+
+If your notebook is not ready to be published to the web, you can prefix the folder with an underscore: Quarto will then ignore it.
