Create a Blog Post

The Blog section is where you can write dev notes, resource spotlights, workflow tips, or project updates. It's intentionally low-key — think of it as your personal developer notebook, made public.

File Naming​

Blog posts live in blog/ and follow this naming convention:

blog/YYYY-MM-DD-post-slug.md

Or as a folder (useful when you want to co-locate images):

blog/YYYY-MM-DD-post-slug/
  index.md

Frontmatter​

Every blog post needs frontmatter at the top:

blog/2026-06-25-my-post.md
---
slug: my-post
title: My Post Title
authors: [abdul]
tags: [frontend, tools, workflow]
---

Brief intro paragraph shown in the blog list view.

<!-- truncate -->

Full post content goes here...
  • authors — must match a key in blog/authors.yml
  • tags — free-form, used to group related posts
  • <!-- truncate --> — everything before this is shown as the excerpt in the list view

Adding Yourself as an Author​

Edit blog/authors.yml:

blog/authors.yml
abdul:
  name: Abdul Khan
  title: Maintainer of Dev-Mountain
  url: https://github.com/AbdulDevHub
  image_url: https://github.com/AbdulDevHub.png

Post Ideas​

  • 🆕 "New resource added: [tool name] — why it's worth knowing"
  • 🔧 "How I set up my terminal / VS Code for this workflow"
  • 🎨 "UI experiment of the week: [animation technique]"
  • 📌 "TIL: [short dev discovery]"
tip

Even one post every few months makes the blog section valuable. Don't overthink it — treat it like a changelog or learning log.
