A Markdown post template for future articles
Use this sample entry as the starting point for future posts on your personal blog.
This post is intentionally written as a starter template. Duplicate it, rename the file, update the frontmatter, and you have a clean structure for future writing.
Suggested structure
A strong technical post usually starts with three things:
- The problem you were solving
- The constraints you had to work with
- The result you shipped or learned from
That gives readers enough context to understand why the rest of the article matters.
Example code block
export function buildSlug(title: string) {
return title
.toLowerCase()
.trim()
.replace(/[^a-z0-9]+/g, '-')
.replace(/(^-|-$)/g, '');
}
Example checklist
- Start with a clear title and summary
- Add tags that help group related writing
- Include code only when it supports the point
- End with the trade-offs or lessons learned
Example table
| Section | What to include |
|---|---|
| Intro | Problem, context, desired outcome |
| Build | Decisions, architecture, implementation notes |
| Reflection | What worked, what changed, what you would do next |

Writing note
Because this site uses plain Markdown by default, the authoring workflow stays simple: open a file, write the article, commit it, and publish. If you ever need embedded interactive components, you can add MDX later without rebuilding the whole content model.
