Replace the body with whatever you want to write about — software, side projects, what you’re learning, what you’re building.</p>

<h2 id="how-posting-works">How posting works</h2>

<p>Drop a markdown file in <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">_posts/</code> named <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md</code>. The date in the filename has to match the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">date</code> in the front matter. Front matter takes <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">title</code>, <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">date</code>, <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">description</code> (optional, shown in listings), and <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">tags</code> (optional).</p>

<p>Commit, push, and the post appears on the <a href="/blogs/">Blogs</a> page and the homepage.</p>

<h2 id="markdown-notes">Markdown notes</h2>

<p>Headings, lists, and links work as you’d expect. Code blocks use triple backticks:</p>

<div class="language-python highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">hello</span><span class="p">():</span>
    <span class="k">print</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s">"hi"</span><span class="p">)</span>
</code></pre></div></div>
