| `npm run dev`             | Starts local dev server at `localhost:4321`      |
| `npm run build`           | Build your production site to `./dist/`          |

## 📝 Creating Blog Posts

1. Create a new `.md` or `.mdx` file in `src/content/blog/`
2. Add the required frontmatter:

```markdown
---
title: 'Your Post Title'
description: 'A brief description of your post'
pubDate: 'Oct 03 2025'
tags: ['astro', 'blogging']  # At least one tag required
heroImage: '../../assets/your-image.jpg'  # Optional
draft: true  # Optional - excluded from production builds, visible in dev
---

Your content here...
```

3. The file name becomes the URL slug (e.g., `my-post.md` → `/blog/my-post/`)

## ⚙️ Configuration

Edit `src/consts.ts` to customize your site:

```typescript
export const SITE_TITLE = 'Your Site Title';
export const SITE_DESCRIPTION = 'Your site description';
export const SITE_AUTHOR = 'Your Name';
export const POSTS_PER_PAGE = 6;
```

Update `astro.config.mjs` for your production URL:

```javascript
export default defineConfig({
  site: 'https://your-site.com',
  // ...
});
```

## 🎨 Customization

### Colors

Edit CSS variables in `src/styles/global.css`:

- Light theme: `:root` selector
- Dark theme: `[data-theme="dark"]` selector

### Component and page styles

Components and pages carry no `<style>` blocks. Each one imports its own stylesheet from `src/styles/components/` or `src/styles/pages/` (e.g. `Header.astro` imports `src/styles/components/header.css`). Because these files are plain global CSS, selectors are class-based (`.site-header`, `.post-card`, …) rather than bare element selectors.

### Fonts

Fonts use Astro's native `fonts` API (`fontProviders.local()`) in `astro.config.mjs`, sourced from `src/assets/fonts/` and exposed as the `--font-atkinson` / `--font-atkinson-mono` CSS variables. Variable fonts support any weight from 100-900.

### Navigation

Add or remove links in `src/components/Header.astro`
