How to Create a Blog and Publish It on This Website

🧠 Introduction

This guide will walk you through how to write your own blog post in MDX format and contribute it to this site. Whether you're documenting a project, sharing your thoughts, or writing a tutorial — you're welcome to submit your article!

🛠️ Step-by-Step Guide

1. Write Your Blog Post in .mdx Format

All blog posts are written using MDX — Markdown with React components support.

Use this structure as a starting point for your front matter:

---
title: 'Your Blog Title'
date: 'YYYY-MM-DD'
summary: 'A short summary of your blog'
tags:
  - tag1
  - tag2
draft: false
thumbnail: '/static/images/blog/thumbnails/your-image.jpg'
authors:
  - default
---

2. Fork the GitHub Repository

Go to the GitHub repo: 👉 https://github.com/BiditG/PortfolioBidit

Click the "Fork" button to make your own copy of the repository.

3. Add Your .mdx File

Navigate to the data/blog/ folder in your forked repo.

Create a new .mdx file (e.g., my-awesome-blog.mdx).

Paste your blog post content into it and save the file.

4. Commit and Push Your Changes

After editing, commit your changes with a clear message (e.g., Add my blog post: My Awesome Blog).

Push the changes to your forked GitHub repo.

5. Create a Pull Request

Go back to the original repo: https://github.com/BiditG/PortfolioBidit

Click “Compare & pull request”

Add a short description and submit your PR to the main branch.

✅ Final Notes

Make sure your blog is well-formatted and spell-checked.

Include a suitable thumbnail image (placed in public/static/images/blog/thumbnails/).

If everything looks good, your blog will be reviewed and published!
