If you look at any of our blog posts, you will notice that the first section, called front matter, contains the post information. This section will be omitted from the final article. It includes these fields:
- title: Post title in the blog.

- date: Publishing date for your article, in Y, M, D format.
- author: Name of the article's author (you).
- cats: Categories, seprated by comma.
- tags: Tags, seprated by comma.
For the featured image of the article:
- Image size must be 800x450
- Image format must be jpg and it should be optimized.
- Add the image to /static/img/posts.
- Rename it to match what you entered in the front matter above.
For images you use inside the article, create a folder in the /static/img/posts, add all the images there and reference to that properly.
DO NOT use a copyrighted image, or an image that requires attribution. You can use Unsplash if you need to use stock photos.
Add the post in posts folder. Make sure all images are properly referenced.
Note: If your post needs refining, others have the right to edit the content it is published.
