Getting Started with the Engineering Blog

Introduction

Welcome to the Engineering Blog boilerplate. This is a sample post that shows the basic structure of a blog post.

Replace this content with your own writing. Posts are written in Markdown and stored in the content/blog/ directory.

Post structure

Each post lives in its own folder under content/blog/:

content/blog/
└── your-post-slug/
    ├── index.md        # Post content and frontmatter
    └── index.webp      # Optional featured image (auto-detected)

Frontmatter fields

Field	Required	Description
`title`	yes	Post title
`date`	yes	Publication date (YYYY-MM-DD)
`author`	yes	Author name
`excerpt`	yes	Short description shown in listings
`tags`	no	Array of topic tags
`featured`	no	Set to `true` to pin on the home page
`meta_title`	no	Custom SEO title (defaults to title)
`meta_description`	no	Custom SEO description (defaults to excerpt)

Images

Place images in the same folder as your index.md. Reference them with a relative path:

![Alt text](my-image.jpg)

Images are automatically converted to WebP by the build pipeline.
