once you’ve published something real.</p>

<h2 id="how-to-write-a-new-post">How to write a new post</h2>

<p>Create a file in the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">_posts/</code> folder named like this:</p>

<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>_posts/YYYY-MM-DD-a-short-slug.md
</code></pre></div></div>

<p>Start it with front matter (the block between the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">---</code> lines), then
write the body in Markdown:</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">Your</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">post</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">title"</span>
<span class="na">subtitle</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s2">"</span><span class="s">Optional</span><span class="nv"> </span><span class="s">one-liner."</span>
<span class="na">date</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">2026-07-01</span>
<span class="na">tags</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="pi">[</span><span class="nv">ideas</span><span class="pi">,</span> <span class="nv">go</span><span class="pi">]</span>
<span class="nn">---</span>
</code></pre></div></div>

<h2 id="what-you-can-use">What you can use</h2>

<p>You get headings, <strong>bold</strong>, <em>italics</em>, <a href="https://example.com">links</a>,
lists, and quotes:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>The best time to start writing was years ago. The second best time
is in this file.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Inline <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">code</code> and fenced code blocks both work, with syntax
highlighting via Rouge:</p>

<div class="language-go highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="k">func</span> <span class="n">main</span><span class="p">()</span> <span class="p">{</span>
    <span class="n">fmt</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">Println</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s">"hello, world"</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
</code></pre></div></div>

<p>That’s it — commit the file and GitHub Pages rebuilds the site
automatically.</p>]]></content><author><name>Mayank Agarwal</name></author><category term="meta" /><summary type="html"><![CDATA[This is a sample post so you can see how writing looks. Delete it once you’ve published something real.]]></summary></entry></feed>
