Publish a Blog

1. Create a markdown file inside src/assets folder
2. Add meta information at the top as shown below

   ---
   title: Very Interesting Blog (**required**)
   authorName: John Doe
   authorAvatar: https://some.link.jpg (must be an image URL, **required**)
   authorLink: https://github.com/John
   createdAt: Oct 30, 2019 (must be in the format `MM dd, yyyy`, **required**)

   ---

3. Wrap meta information with two horizontal lines
4. Add the main content below the last horizontal line from the meta block

   ---
   meta information...
   ---
   # heading 1
   some content
   # heading 2
   other content
   

5. Check for your markdown files compatibility with the blog site

   pnpm markdown:lint

   This will check the markdown files inside src/assets folder for the following:
   • Missing meta information
   • Usage of the first heading tag (#) inside the main content
   • Usage of dead or insecure image links
6. If these all checks are good, make a PR with a new markdown file as a brand-new blog post.
