Blog Template
Basejump includes a basic blog template to get you started. Out of the box, it supports writing blogs using markdown files in the repo. It wouldn't be too hard to hook up Strapi or some other CMS, however, if you so wish.
Writing blog posts
To write your first blog post, you'll want to create a new markdown file located at /content/blog/[locale]/your-path-here.md. The locale is the language code for the blog post, so if you're writing a blog post in English,
you'd use en.
By default, blog articles are not published, to publish them, you'll need to add Frontmatter that includes a publish
date.
Blog Metadata & Frontmatter
Frontmatter is a Markdown concept that allows you to add metadata to a markdown file. Basejump blog articles support the following metadata:
---
title: "Your Blog Title"
category: "Category 1"
published: 2022-01-01
description: "This is an automatically generated Basejump blog article!"
socialDescription: "Check out this automatically generated Basejump blog article!"
socialImage: "/images/basejump-logo.png"
---
Articles are sorted according to their published date with the most recent at the top. Any article that does not
include a published date is not visible on the site.
Disabling blogs
If you don't want to leverage the built-in blog functionality, you can disable it by simply removing the blog folder from /src/pages. You'll also want to remove any links in the ContentHeader and ContentFooter.
