Why structure matters
Support content changes quickly. Product behavior shifts, screenshots become outdated, and teams need a safe way to update articles without waiting for a full application release.
A Markdown-first workflow keeps the writing process close to Git review while still allowing the frontend to render a polished blog experience.
What each post should include
Every blog article should define the metadata that powers the listing page, detail page, SEO metadata, author card, and related article behavior.
- slug controls the article route.
- title is used on the card and article header.
- description becomes the short deck text.
- category groups related posts.
- publishedAt controls ordering on the blog home page.
- heroImage and heroCaption power the visual header.
Publishing checklist
Before publishing a new article, confirm the frontmatter is complete, the slug is stable, and the article body has clear headings. Headings become the "On this page" navigation in the detail layout.
A good content workflow should make the correct publishing path obvious and make risky changes easy to review before release.
Next improvements
The same structure can later support category landing pages, author profile pages, localized content, and analytics events without changing the shape of each article.
