Counterweight Posts

This is where I keep my blog posts. The structure does not follow any blog convention: I keep my stuff here the way I like to prevent lock-in into any specific blog service or technology. Once I want to render all of this into a real blog, I just develop and run some small code to adapt the contents to the concrete solution I will be using.

Structure

Posts should be stored in the posts folder. Each post:

• Should have its own folder. The folder name must be a unique slug.
• Must contain two files inside:
  • content.md: the actual post, as markdown.
  • meta.yaml: metadata on the post. This is a flexible file and generally, there are no limits to what to store here. Below is a table of fields that are expected.

Field	Description
title	The human readable title for the post.
date	The posting date of the post, with format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS, as in 2021-05-30 11:59:59.
category	A category for the post.
tags	A list of tags, represented as comma separated strings.
slug	Unique, machine readable slug.
authors	List of authors, represented as comma separated strings.
summary	A brief, human readable summary for the post.
