Writing a New Post

1. Create a file in _posts/ named YYYY-MM-DD-your-slug.md.
2. Add the required front matter:

---
layout: post
title: "Your Post Title"
date: YYYY-MM-DD
tags: [tag1, tag2]
---

3. Write content in Markdown. Use $...$ for inline math and $$...$$ for display math.
4. Commit and push — GitHub Pages builds automatically (≈ 1 min).
