+**4. Adding your image to the blog.**
+
+Go to the directory `blog_src/assets/img/authors` and add your author image there. Make sure you have a **square image**. Later you have to compress your image via a Python script. To compress your image you can run the command `python image_optimise.py <image-name>`.

+        <description>&lt;p&gt;The inherent need for human beings has always been to communicate and share information,albeit selectively. For this purpose, the information is to be coded in such a way that it can be deciphered only by the recipient, regardless of whether the recipient is right next to the sender or on the other side of the world. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The communication channel is assumed to be plagued with adversaries.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.These adversaries have access to this coded information and are constantly trying to pry.So, the basic problem has always been to: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;transfer secure information over such insecure channels.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;So, how DO you communicate when everyone...</description>

This would go on to be known as the ‘War of the Currents’.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;By 1880, Edison had created a model for the incandescent lamp that was commercially viable. But to make a profit out of the electric lights that...</description>

+        <description>&lt;h2 id=&quot;introduction&quot;&gt;Introduction&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;3D printing technology is often used to construct highly complex objects of different kinds, properties and materials. Despite its numerous advantages, one major drawback of 3D printers is its traditionally slow speed. This is where it fails miserably, in its large scale applicability, against other major manufacturing processes like injection moulding. To overcome this major industry challenge, several 3D companies have come up with more updated and efficient technologies that guarantee quick speeds and utmost accuracy. One of the successful and modern technology is &lt;strong&gt;CLIP (short for, continuous liquid interface production)&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;A typical 3D printing machine such...</description>

-        <description>&lt;p&gt;RFID technology has been in circulation for many years now. You may have encountered it first-hand while borrowing library books, or while swiping for attendance in school. Recently, the government issued RFID chips to be installed in cars so that we can zoom through toll booths instead of waiting in long queues. RFID technology has also got a fair share of screen time. Remember Casino Royale? Her Majesty’s Secret Service injects Bond with a glass-enclosed, rice-sized RFID chip, so that, in M’s words, “they’ll know where he is”. Here is a little insight into the technology that is taking the world by...</description>

After a period of five days, the child would walk out of the room as a pretty good chess player. In our analogy, the...</description>

The fossil fuels are non-renewable and require finite resources, which are dwindling because of high cost and environmentally damaging retrieval techniques. Climate change is real. Global warming is real. It took some time to accept this hard fact, but now with the realization, production of clean energy has become the primary goal of countries across all continents.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Great amount of research is carried in improving the efficiency of renewable energy and making it inexpensive. The main objective is to minimize or eliminate the usage of electricity...</description>
