Add a blog to your marketing site

The LaunchSoku marketing site ships with a blog that's authored entirely in Markdown. There's no CMS to log into and no database to manage — a post is a file, and publishing is a commit. This guide shows you the whole loop.

1. Create the post file

Every post lives in content/blog/ as an .mdx file. The filename becomes the URL slug, so hello-world.mdx is served at /blog/hello-world.

touch content/blog/hello-world.mdx

2. Add the frontmatter

The block at the top is validated at build time. Miss a required field — or reference an author or category that doesn't exist — and the build fails loudly instead of shipping something broken.

---
title: Hello, world
description: My very first post on the new blog.
publishedAt: 2026-07-01
author: chase-garsee
category: Product
tags: [hello]
cover: /blog/hello-world.svg
coverAlt: A friendly placeholder cover.
---

Write your post body in **Markdown** right here.

3. Write the body

Everything below the frontmatter is standard Markdown (plus GitHub flavored extras like tables and task lists). Code blocks are syntax-highlighted at build time, so there's no client-side JavaScript cost for highlighting.

4. Ship it

That's it. On your next deploy you get, automatically:

• a statically-generated, fully-indexable page
• Open Graph and Twitter card tags for nice link previews
• a social share image rendered from the title
• an entry in sitemap.xml and the RSS feed

No dashboard, no migrations — just write and push.
