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:

   bash

   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)
