Creating New Posts

To create a new blog post:

1. Create a new file in the _posts/ directory with the naming format:

   YYYY-MM-DD-post-title.md
   

   Example: 2024-12-25-my-new-post.md

2. Add front matter at the top of the file:

   ---
   title: Your Post Title
   date: 2024-12-25 10:00
   categories: [Blog, CategoryName]
   tags: [tag1, tag2]
   image: /assets/img/picture/your-image.jpeg  # Optional
   ---

3. Write your content in Markdown below the front matter.

4. Optional fields:

   • image: Path to a preview image (stored in assets/img/picture/)
   • categories: Array of categories (e.g., [Blog, Technical])
   • tags: Array of tags (e.g., [python, tutorial])

5. Preview locally:

   bundle exec jekyll serve

   Then visit http://127.0.0.1:4000/posts/your-post-title/

6. Deploy: Commit and push to main branch. GitHub Actions will automatically build and deploy.

Note: The date in the filename determines the post's publication date. The date field in front matter can be more precise (includes time).
