A lot of time, my notes are scattered across RocketChat and Discord, and get thrown into disarray, so I hope that I can instead centralize my thoughts, projects, and things of that sort here. This is the first step on that journey. ## The blog workflow When I write a blog article, it is generally based on the official [Blog Documentation](https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/setup/setting-up-a-blog/). The formatting uses a few metadata tags, and looks like the following: ```md --- draft: false date: 2024-12-15 updated: 2024-12-15 authors: - nicole links: - External Link: https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/setup/setting-up-a-blog/ - docs/Servers/Containerization/Docker/Compose/Material MkDocs.md categories: - General - Documentation tags: - MKDocs - Material MkDocs - Documentation --- # Example Post Title Placeholder Text / Body of the Blog Post. ```
