Adding photo carousels

First put all photos in the asset_path directory for a post. Then list all in the front-matter like so:

photos:
  - url: photo1.jpg
  - url: photo2.jpg
  - url: photo3.jpg

Then simply add {% raw %}{% include carousel.html %}{% raw %} where you want the carousel.

Adding Javascript to posts

Make sure your post has an asset_path key-value pair.

Google Maps

Add a new key, maps:, with a list of url: key-value pairs as its value, each having a script containing a Google Maps generator as its value, e.g.:

maps:
  - url: map1.js
  - url: map2.js

The scripts should be placed in the asset_path directory. For each map, insert a <div> tag into the post, with a unique ID referenced by the map generator script. TO-DO: Google Maps KML files must be hosted publicly. Find a way to automatically insert the KML file's fully-qualified url into a map script. Currently I'm just hosting them from http://samhatfield.co.uk
