Hi Sabesan, Please use the gautamkrishnar/blog-post-workflow instead of khaosdoctor/blog-post-workflow if you want the latest features and optimisations. khaosdoctor/blog-post-workflow has the outdated version of blog post workflow's code. khaosdoctor/blog-post-workflow is a fork of the project gautamkrishnar/blog-post-workflow which Lucas created when he contributed to the blog-post-workflow project.

Yes. Thanks for writing the blog bro. Why i mentioned that is because some people might just copy paste the gist you kept in the blog and they may end up with an outdated version of the code running on their readme.

Good readme, but.. You have just hurt the community behind the awesome. Please read the creating awesome list docs because your list does not meet the standards

I think this list is the current pretender to be added to awsome (it needs some finishing touch). So you will need to create something better than that. I think the best choice will be to contribute to it, cause it's great. And you should not include an awesome badge until it's accepted (Yeah, everyone does the opposite 😜)

You should have just forked and use Creative Profile Readme rather than copying it.
