 - Create a new blog post in `_drafts` titled: `version-<ver>-released.md` where `<ver>` is the version without any dots, e.g. `0180` for `0.18.0`.
 - When ready to release:
-  - move the blog post into `_posts`
+  - move the blog post into `_posts`, making sure to append the current date to its filename: `2017-09-31-title.md`.
   - modify config.yml's `version` key to the new version
   - `git commit`
     - **TIP:** Here is a real-life example of a commit that signifies a release: https://github.com/nim-lang/website/commit/6f95916dee1212dcf5465d74dcff14e01f714503. The draft blog post was created in earlier commits, but hopefully it's pretty easy to figure out how it was made.
