+## YAML Frontmatter
+
+Each article contains a small section at the top written in [YAML Frontmatter]():
+
+``` md
+---
+title: My Article
+sort: 3
+contributors:
+  - [github username]
+related:
+  - title: Title of Related Article
+    url: [url of related article]
+---
+```
+
+Let's break these down:
+
+- `title`: The name of the article.
+- `sort`: The order of the article within its section.
+- `contributors`: A list of GitHub usernames who have contributed to this article.
+- `related`: Any related reading or useful examples.
+
+Note that `related` will generate a __Further Reading__ section at the bottom of the page and `contributors` will yield a __Contributors__ section below it. If you edit an article and would like recognition, please feel free to add your GitHub username to the `contributors` list.
