Adding blog posts

You can write blog posts in Extended Markdown (.mdx) format nicely. Create a .mdx file under data/blog. The file name will be the slug of the post. E.g. if you create my-blog-post.mdx the post will be at powdr.org/blog/my-blog.post.mdx. Alternatively you can create a folder /my-blog-post and add an my-blog-post/index.mdx.

Easisest is to check out some examples. See https://tailwind-nextjs-starter-blog.vercel.app/ for example posts. Source code of the posts are here.

The part above the .mdx file is called a "frontmatter":

---
title: Deriving the OLS Estimator
date: '2020-12-21'
draft: false
summary: 'How to derive the OLS Estimator with matrix notation and a tour of math typesetting using markdown with the help of KaTeX.'
layout: PostBanner
bibliography: references-data.bib
authors: ['default', 'sparrowhawk']
images: ['/static/images/canada/mountains.jpg']
---

Each post must contain a title and a date, rest is optional.

Some additional notes about blog posts:

• you can set draft:true to see it in your developement environment but not publish it.
• The default author is "Powdr Labs", you can add additional authors in data/authors and refer them in authors in the frontmatter.
• The default post layout is PostLayout. You can see the layouts in directory layouts/. To have a post with a banner image use layout: PostBanner and add images (typically only one image) in images: ['/static/images/canada/mountains.jpg']. The images should be under the directory public/static.
