## Creating Your First Blog Post

title: "My First Blog Post"
description: "A brief description of your post"
date: "2025-12-08"
tags: ["tutorial", "getting-started"]
author: "your-author-id"
---

# Welcome to My Blog

Start writing your content here using Markdown...
```

2. The post automatically appears on your blog page
3. Tags and author pages are generated automatically

## Configuration

```typescript
export const siteConfig = {
    name: "Your Blog Name",
    url: "https://yourdomain.com",
    description: "Your blog description",
    links: {
        twitter: "https://twitter.com/yourusername",
        github: "https://github.com/yourusername",
    },
};
```
