For the blog feature supastarter integrates content-collections, a markdown based CMS.

Create a new blog post

To create a new blog post, create a new .mdx file in the /apps/web/content/posts. The file name will be the url slug of the post. For example, if you want the url to be https://your-app.com/blog/my-first-post, then the file name should be my-first-post.mdx.

The file will start with a frontmatter block, which is a yaml-like block that contains metadata about the post. The frontmatter block should be surrounded by three dashes (---).
