Blog Posts

This directory contains all blog posts in Markdown format. Each post should include frontmatter metadata.

Frontmatter Format

Each blog post should start with YAML frontmatter:

---
title: "Your Post Title"
date: "YYYY-MM-DD"
excerpt: "A brief description of your post (shown in previews)"
coverImage: "/path/to/image.png"
tags: ["tag1", "tag2", "tag3"]
---

Required Fields

• title: The title of your blog post
• date: Publication date in YYYY-MM-DD format
• excerpt: Short description (1-2 sentences)
• tags: Array of relevant tags

Optional Fields

• coverImage: Path to cover image (relative to public folder)
• author: Author name (defaults to config)

Markdown Features

All standard Markdown features are supported, plus:

• GitHub Flavored Markdown (tables, task lists, strikethrough)
• Syntax highlighting for code blocks
• Auto-linking of URLs
• Custom styled components

Example Post

See the existing posts in this directory for examples:

• nextjs-14-server-components.md
• tailwind-tips-tricks.md
• framer-motion-portfolio.md

Creating a New Post

1. Create a new .md file in this directory
2. Add frontmatter metadata at the top
3. Write your content using Markdown
4. The post will automatically appear on /blog
5. Access it at /blog/your-filename (without .md)

Tips

• Use descriptive filenames (they become the URL slug)
• Add alt text to images for accessibility
• Keep excerpts concise (under 160 characters is ideal)
• Use relevant tags for better discoverability
• Test your post locally before deploying
