Writing blogs

To write blogs create a file with extension md, inside _blogs folder

You have to add some metadata to this file

---
layout: blogs
permalink: /blogs/create-anything-you-like/
title: Create anything you like
img_path: /static/images/blogs/feynman.png
description: Here are a big list of links you can go through inorder to build any thing you think. !!
meta_desc: Here are a big list of links you can go through inorder to build any thing you think. !!
tag1: create
tag2: anything
display: f
---

After this metadata you can write your content in markdown syntax

Lets take a look at it, Since this site is highly Search Engine Optimised, you have to give meta_desc here.

• layout: This is the layout you can see in _layouts folder
• permalink: This will be you url to see that blog
• img_path: This will be the thumbnail to your blog
• meta_desc: This will be sent as the desc of meta tag. Give a better desc, this will determine the google index, so while writing research about meta keywords, for better SEO
• display: for this you have 2 options - t or f
  • if you give t, Then it will be displayed in the Home page
  • if you give f, Then it will be displayed when you go to see all blogs (ie http://localhost/blogs)
