Writing a blog post

Add a Markdown file to src/content/blog/, e.g. my-post.md:

description: 'What this post is about.'
pubDate: 2026-07-09
---

Post content here.

Optional frontmatter: updatedDate, heroImage (place images in src/assets/).

Editing the site

• Landing page: src/pages/index.astro
• About page: src/pages/about.astro
• Header nav / footer: src/components/Header.astro, src/components/Footer.astro
• Site title & description: src/consts.ts

Deploying to GitHub Pages

1. Create a GitHub repo and push this project to its main branch.
   • Repo named <username>.github.io → site lives at https://<username>.github.io/
   • Any other repo name → site lives at https://<username>.github.io/<repo>/
2. In the repo settings, go to Settings → Pages and set Source to GitHub Actions.
3. Every push to main triggers .github/workflows/deploy.yml, which builds and publishes the site. The action fills in the correct site/base URL automatically.
