Here’s a simple how‑to guide you can save as _data/faq-howto.md or a note file in your docs folder so you can refer back to it anytime.

How to Update the FAQ Page (ebiYA.sg)

This guide explains how to add or edit FAQ questions for the Caridina shrimp page.

1. File Location

Your FAQ data is stored in the file:

_data/faqs.yml

This file controls what appears on the Frequently Asked Questions page.

2. File Structure Overview

Every FAQ section (category) looks like this:

- title: About Caridina shrimp
  questions:
    - id: q1
      question: What are Caridina shrimp?
      answer: >
        Caridina shrimp are premium freshwater shrimp known for their vivid colors...
  • title: → Category name shown in a colored header.
  • questions: → List of questions and answers under that category.
  • id: → Unique label for this FAQ (e.g., q1, q2, t1).
  • question: → The question shown in the accordion header.
  • answer: → Text shown when the question expands. You can use Markdown, like bold, italic, and lists.

3. Adding a New FAQ

  1. Scroll to the category you want (e.g., “About Caridina shrimp” or “Tank & setup”).

  2. Add a new FAQ block at the end of the questions: list:

    - id: q9
  question: How much light do Caridina shrimp need?
  answer: >
    Moderate lighting is best. Too much light causes algae; too little reduces plant growth.
  3. Save the file.
  4. Rebuild the site (bundle exec jekyll serve) and refresh the FAQ page.
    The new item will appear automatically in the correct section.

4. Editing an Existing FAQ

  • To change text, edit the question or answer directly.
  • To remove an FAQ, delete the entire - id: ... block.
  • Keep spacing and indentation exactly as shown (2 spaces per level).

5. Tips

  • Use > for multi‑line answers (preserves line breaks cleanly).
  • Keep IDs unique — don’t reuse q1, q2, etc.
  • Don’t use tabs — always spaces in YAML.
  • Use plain quotes only if your text contains symbols like : or #.

Would you like me to format this as a downloadable Markdown file (so you can save it in your repo)?
