Blog Post Creation Guide for AI Assistants

This document outlines the process for creating a new blog post for the jessecampbell-ai.com website. Please follow these instructions carefully.

1. File Location

All blog post files must be created in the /home/jesseakc/code/jessecampbell-ai-website-main/src/posts/ directory.

2. File Naming Convention

Use a clear and consistent naming convention for each post:

YYYY-MM-DD-a-short-url-friendly-title.md

• YYYY-MM-DD: The full date of publication.
• a-short-url-friendly-title: A 3-5 word, lowercase, hyphen-separated version of the post's title (this is the "slug").
• .md: The file extension for Markdown.

Example: For a post titled "My First Journey into AI" written on August 10, 2025, the filename would be 2025-08-10-my-first-journey-into-ai.md.

3. File Format and Content

Each file is a Markdown document with a required YAML frontmatter block at the very top.

Frontmatter

The frontmatter is used to add metadata to each post. It must contain the following fields:

---
title: "The Full Title of the Blog Post"
date: "YYYY-MM-DD"
author: "Jesse Campbell"
summary: "A concise, one-sentence summary of the article's main point."
---

• title: The full, human-readable title of the post.
• date: The publication date, matching the date in the filename.
• author: This should always be "Jesse Campbell".
• summary: A brief (1-2 sentence) description of the post content.

Body Content

The rest of the file is the body of the blog post, written in standard Markdown. You can use headings, lists, bold/italic text, links, and other Markdown features.

Workflow Summary

1. Confirm the title and content for the new blog post with the user.
2. Generate a filename based on the current date and title.
3. Create a new .md file in the src/posts/ directory.
4. Add the complete frontmatter block with the correct metadata.
5. Add the blog post content in Markdown below the frontmatter.
6. Save the file.
