Adding New Blog Posts

To create a new blog post:

1. Create a new file in src/data/blogs/ with a descriptive filename (e.g., my-new-blog-post.ts)

2. Define your blog post using the Blog interface:

import { Blog } from '../../types/blog';
import { authors } from '../authors';

export const myNewBlogPost: Blog = {
  id: 'unique-id',
  title: 'Your Blog Title',
  slug: 'your-blog-slug',
  excerpt: 'A brief description of your blog post...',
  content: [
    {
      id: '1',
      type: 'heading',
      content: { level: 2, text: 'Your Heading' }
    },
    {
      id: '2',
      type: 'text',
      content: 'Your paragraph content...'
    },
    // Add more content blocks as needed
  ],
  author: authors.yourAuthor,
  publishedAt: '2025-01-20T10:00:00Z',
  updatedAt: '2025-01-20T10:00:00Z',
  readingTime: 5,
  tags: ['Tag1', 'Tag2'],
  coverImage: 'https://your-image-url.jpg',
  featured: false
};

3. Export your blog in src/data/blogs/index.ts:

import { myNewBlogPost } from './my-new-blog-post';

export const blogs: Blog[] = [
  // ... existing blogs
  myNewBlogPost
];
