Create Our Blog Page

# Create Our Blog Page

## Task

Create a Our Blog page that contains blog posts by our Social and Outreach team.

## Solution

We can utilize both Instagram API and Microsoft forms to allow the Social and Outreach team to update the blogs.

- **Instagram API** - We can use the Instagram API to access any Instagram post published by Biodevices Without Borders. We can then use this data (i.e., images, title, description, like count etc) to display the post on the website in our own style.
- **Microsoft Forms** - We can create a Microsoft Form for the Social and Outreach team to fill in. Every time they make a submission, the Software team can be notified via email. We can then create a Python script to read the exported Excel file, which contains their response, and reformat the data into a JSON file. This file can then be uploaded to the website using the same Python Script. This is similar to how we get members to update their profile information.

Start by locating the existing React and TypeScript website entry points and the current member-profile update workflow referenced in the issue. Then investigate the Instagram API, Microsoft Forms, exported Excel data, and the proposed Python-to-JSON process. Done means a blog page can display Social and Outreach posts through an agreed, maintainable update path.
