Adding a New Blog Post

   YYYY-MM-DD-your-post-slug.md
   

2. Add frontmatter at the top:

   ---
   layout: post
   title: "Your Post Title"
   description: "A short description for SEO and previews"
   date: YYYY-MM-DD
   author: "Jester Simpps"
   categories: [Development]
   tags: [Tag1, Tag2, Tag3]
   image: /images/your-image.jpg
   ---

3. Write your content in markdown below the frontmatter

4. If you have a cover image, add it to images/
