## Coding conventions
These conventions apply to the website as a whole, including everything written
in HTML, CSS, YAML, and Liquid.
in HTML, CSS, YAML, and Liquid. These conventions are intended to keep the
codebase consistent when multiple collaborators are working on it. They should
be understood as a practical set of rules for maintaining order in this
specific codebase rather than as a statement of what is objectively right or
good.
* Always use spaces. Never use tabs.
* Indent by exactly two (2) spaces.
* Whenever you add an opening tag, indent the following line. (Exception: If
you open and close the tag on the same line, do not indent the following
line.)
* Indent Liquid the same way as HTML. (This is the easiest rule for multiple
collaborators to all follow consistently when editing the same codebase.)
* Indent Liquid the same way as HTML.
* In general, the starting columns of every adjacent pair of lines should be no
more than two spaces apart (example below).
* No blank or empty lines. (Hint: When you feel you need one, add a comment
on that line instead.)
* No blank or empty lines. (Hint: When you feel you need one, add a comment on

* Use comments to indicate the purposes of different blocks of code. This makes
the file easier to understand and navigate.
* Use descriptive variable names. Never use one or two letter variable names.
