Creating a Blog Post

Add a Markdown File

To add a blog post, you first need to create a markdown file in the blog directory with the naming convention YYYY-MM-DD-BLOG-NAME.md - where BLOG-NAME is an appropriate name related to the blog topic.

Blog Header

Every blog file needs a header - this means it starts with a simple block of text with some configuration options.

slug: slug

title: An Interesting Blog about Netkit

author: Your Name

author_title: Your Name

author_url: https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME

author_image_url: https://avatars1.githubusercontent.com/u/USERID

tags: []

## Heading 1

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

In vehicula eros vel ultrices accumsan. Nunc nec lorem

leo. Nullam at dui mauris. Ut ex diam, mollis viverra nisl

a, semper dignissim diam.

The slug is the path to the blog post after /blog on the site. Make sure this is unique to this post!

The rest should be self-explanatory but for more details on options see here.
