<p>To add a new post, create a file in <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">_posts/</code> named <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">YYYY-MM-DD-your-title.md</code>. The
date in the filename controls the sort order and the date shown on the post, but the
URL itself is just <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">/blog/your-title/</code> — no date in the link.</p>

<p>Front matter only needs a <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">title</code> and, optionally, a list of <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">tags</code>:</p>

<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="nn">---</span>
<span class="na">title</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s2">"</span><span class="s">My</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">Post</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">Title"</span>
<span class="na">tags</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="pi">[</span><span class="nv">windows</span><span class="pi">,</span> <span class="nv">productivity</span><span class="pi">]</span>
<span class="nn">---</span>
</code></pre></div></div>

<p>Everything below the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">---</code> is written in regular Markdown — headings, <strong>bold</strong>,
<em>italics</em>, lists, code blocks with syntax highlighting, images, and links all work
as expected.</p>

<h2 id="a-heading-looks-like-this">A heading looks like this</h2>

<p>And a sub-heading like this:</p>

<h3 id="a-smaller-heading">A smaller heading</h3>

<ul>
  <li>List items</li>
  <li>Render</li>
  <li>Like this</li>
</ul>

<blockquote>
  <p>A blockquote, if you want to call out a quote or an aside.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>That’s it — no comments section on posts (per your earlier preference), and each
post automatically shows up on the <a href="/blog/">Blog</a> listing page and in the RSS feed
at <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">/feed.xml</code>.</p>]]></content><author><name>Lokesh Govindu</name></author><category term="meta" /><summary type="html"><![CDATA[This is a starter post — edit or delete it once you’ve written your first real one.]]></summary></entry></feed>
