✍️ Adding a New Blog Post

1. Create a new file in the _posts/ directory. The filename format must be:

   YYYY-MM-DD-title-of-the-post.md
   

   Example:

   2025-07-26-my-first-cve.md
   

2. Add front matter at the top of the file:

   ---
   layout: post
   title: "My First CVE: Remote Code Execution in Backdrop CMS"
   date: 2025-07-26
   section: blog
   ---

3. Write your content in Markdown. You can use:

   • **bold** and *italic*
   • Code blocks (bash, python, etc.)
   • <span class="highlight">highlighted text</span> for emphasis

4. Save the file and run locally (bundle exec jekyll serve) to preview.

Once pushed to main, the blog post will automatically appear on bitsbyamg.com/blog.
