✍️ Writing Posts

Add a .md file to src/posts/:

title: My Post Title
description: A brief description for SEO and previews
date: '2024-02-01'
tags:
  - webdev
  - svelte
published: true
layout: blog
---

Your content here. **Markdown** and Svelte components both work!

Set published: false to hide a draft.

• Typography — Customize in tailwind.config.js
• Layout — Modify components in src/lib/components/
• Site info — Update titles in +layout.svelte and rss.xml/+server.js
