date: YYYY-MM-DD
categories: [category1, category2]
tags: [tag1, tag2, tag3]
image: /assets/images/your-featured-image.jpg
description: "A brief description of your article (150-160 characters)"
---

• Use proper Markdown heading hierarchy (H1 for title, H2 for main sections, etc.)
• Include an introduction that clearly states the article’s purpose
• Break content into logical sections with descriptive headings
• Conclude with a summary or takeaway points

Code Samples

Format code blocks with triple backticks and language specification:

# Python code example
def example_function():
    return "This is a code sample"

Images

• Place images in the /assets/images/ directory
• Use descriptive filenames and alt text
• Ensure images are optimized for web (file size < 200KB when possible)

• Write in clear, concise language
• Use active voice when possible
• Define technical terms and acronyms upon first use
