Creating a Post

To create a post, simply generate a .mdx file in the content/posts directory. Ensure the file name is user-friendly, such as securing-your-web-applications-best-practices-in-web-security.mdx.

---
title: "The title of your post (required)"
date: date of your post (YYYY-MM-DD format, also required)
draft: 'false' or 'true' (required)
---

The title should be between " " to prevent conflicts, an example of this:

---
title: "Automation with Bash Streamlining Repetitive Tasks"
date: 2023-11-11
draft: false

For projects, the structure involves only the title. Create a .mdx file in the content/projects directory.
