Welcome to your new Astro blog! This blog is powered by Astro Content Collections, which provides a type-safe way to manage your content.

What is Content Collections?

Content Collections are Astro’s way of organizing and validating your content. They provide:

  • Type Safety: Your frontmatter is validated against a schema
  • Organization: All your blog posts live in one place
  • Developer Experience: Autocomplete and type checking for your content

Getting Started

To create a new blog post, simply add a new Markdown file to the src/content/blog/ directory. Each post should include frontmatter with the following fields:

  • title: The title of your blog post
  • description: A brief description for SEO and previews
  • pubDate: The publication date
  • updatedDate: (Optional) When the post was last updated
  • heroImage: (Optional) An image to display with the post
  • tags: (Optional) An array of tags for categorization
  • author: (Optional) The author name

Writing Your First Post

Create a new .md file in src/content/blog/ and start writing! You can use all standard Markdown features, and since you have MDX enabled, you can even use React components in your posts.

Happy blogging! 🚀
