Sample Blog Post
01 December 2023
Welcome to My Blog
This is a sample blog post to demonstrate how your new blog system works. With the structure we’ve set up, you can easily write new blog posts by creating markdown files in the _posts
directory.
How to Create a New Blog Post
- Create a new markdown file in the
_posts
directory with the naming format:YYYY-MM-DD-title-of-post.md
- Add the front matter (the section at the top between
---
lines) with layout, title, date, and excerpt - Write your post content in markdown format
- The post will automatically appear in your blog page
Markdown Features
You can use all standard markdown features:
- Bold text and italic text
- Lists (like this one)
- Links
- Code blocks:
def hello_world():
print("Hello, world!")
Images
You can include images from your media directory:
Final Thoughts
This blog system gives you a clean separation between your main website content and blog posts. It makes your site more maintainable and gives you a dedicated space for sharing your thoughts and updates.
