Blog Post Structure

Posts are stored in /posts/ directory with the naming convention: XXX-slug-with-dashes.md

Where XXX is a zero-padded number (001, 002, etc.)

Frontmatter Format

Every post must include this YAML frontmatter:

---
title: 'Your Post Title Here'
date: YYYY-MM-DD
---

Instructions

1. Check existing posts to determine the next number:

   ls -la posts/
   

2. Create the new post file with proper naming:

   • Increment from the highest existing number
   • Use lowercase slugs with dashes
   • Example: 011-your-post-title.md

3. Include required frontmatter with today's date

4. Write content using markdown with:

   • H2 headings for main sections (##)
   • Code blocks with language hints
   • Images from /public/blog/images/
   • Links in markdown format

Post Content Guidelines

• Start with a compelling introduction (no H1 - title comes from frontmatter)
• Use H2 (##) for main sections
• Include code examples when relevant
• End with a conclusion or call-to-action

Example Post

---
title: 'My New Post Title'
