Writing a Blog Post

• Create a new folder inside the content/blog/
  • The folder name should follow kebab-case
  • Use the slug of the title of the post to name it
• Create index.md inside that folder
• Create og.png inside that folder for the open graph image
• Add a frontmatter
  • title: Use Title Case for Titles
  • date: Date in ISO format. Example: 2020-03-12
  • note: Optional. Displayed next to the date when reading a post.
  • image: Filename of the open graph image. Example: og.png
• The note field is usually used to link to the original post when reposting (example)
• Add somewhere the <!-- end --> to declare your excerpt (it's used on the front page)
