Managing Projects

Each project is a single Markdown file inside content/projects/. To add a new project, create a new .md file in that directory. To remove one, delete the file.

Adding a new project

1. Create a new file in content/projects/, e.g. content/projects/my-new-project.md
2. Add frontmatter with at least title, description, tags, and date
3. Write the body content
4. The project will appear at /projects/my-new-project (the filename minus .md becomes the URL slug)

Making a project featured

Set featured: true in the frontmatter. Up to 3 featured projects are shown on the home page in the "Featured Work" section. Use the order field to control which ones appear first.
