Implementing the Blog Plugin¶

I had decided that I wanted to experiment with the built-in blog functionality of Material MKDocs because it might be a way to catalog my thoughts as I work on projects. A lot of time, my notes are scattered across RocketChat and Discord, and get thrown into disarray, so I hope that I can instead centralize my thoughts, projects, and things of that sort here. This is the first step on that journey.

The blog workflow¶

When I write a blog article, it is generally based on the official Blog Documentation. The formatting uses a few metadata tags, and looks like the following:

---
