A Practical Workflow
- Create a file under
_posts - Add front matter
- Write the article in Markdown
- Preview locally
- Push to GitHub
Tips
- keep categories small and durable
- use tags for finer detail
- add images only when they support the writing
- use the archive and tag pages as navigation aids, not as the main structure
Final Reminder
The best way to shape a writing system is to publish a few real posts and adjust the structure only after patterns become visible.
