Blog Content Guide

File Structure

Each blog post is a markdown (.md) file in this directory. The filename becomes the URL slug (e.g., how-elevation-affects-weather.md becomes /blog/how-elevation-affects-weather).

Creating a New Blog Post

  1. Create a new .md file in this directory
  2. Start with the frontmatter (metadata) at the top:
---
title: "Your Post Title"
date: "YYYY-MM-DD"
category: "Category Name"
excerpt: "A brief 1-2 sentence summary of the post"
author: "Author Name"
readingTime: estimated_minutes
image: "/images/blog/your-image.jpg"
---
  1. Write your content using markdown formatting:

Headers

The title in your frontmatter automatically becomes your H1 (main title). Do not add another H1 in your content.

# H1 - DO NOT USE (title from frontmatter is automatically H1)

## H2 - Main sections (e.g., "Key Features", "How It Works")
### H3 - Subsections (e.g., "Installation Steps", "Usage Examples")

Example header structure:

---
title: "Living at High Altitude" (This becomes your H1)
