Blog Posts Directory

This directory contains all the blog posts for the website. Each blog post is a Markdown file with frontmatter metadata.

Creating a New Post

1. Create a new .md file in this directory
2. Use a descriptive filename (this becomes the URL slug)
3. Add the required frontmatter at the top of the file

Frontmatter Structure

Each blog post should start with YAML frontmatter between --- markers:

---
title: "Your Post Title"
date: "2025-08-26"
excerpt: "A brief description of your post (optional but recommended)"
image: "/images/blog/your-image.jpg" (optional)
---

Markdown Content

After the frontmatter, write your content in standard Markdown format. The blog supports:

• Headers (H1-H6)
• Bold and italic text
• Lists (ordered and unordered)
• Links
• Images
• Code blocks
• Blockquotes
• And more standard Markdown features

Example Post Structure
