blog Adding a Blog

Initial Setup

To setup your site's blog, start by creating a blog folder within your repo's website directory.

Then, add a header link to your blog within siteConfig.js:

headerLinks: [
    ...
    {blog: true, label: 'Blog'},
    ...
]

Adding Posts

To publish in the blog, create a file within the blog folder with a formatted name of YYYY-MM-DD-My-Blog-Post-Title.md. The post date is extracted from the file name.

For example, at website/blog/2017-08-18-Introducing-Docusaurus.md:

---
author: Frank Li
authorURL: https://twitter.com/foobarbaz
authorFBID: 503283835
title: Introducing Docusaurus
---

Header Options

The only required field is title; however, we provide options to add author information to your blog post as well.

  • author - The text label of the author byline.
  • authorURL - The url associated with the author. This could be a Twitter, GitHub, Facebook account, etc.
  • authorFBID - The Facebook ID that is used to extract the profile picture.
  • title - The blog post title.

Summary Truncation

Use the <!--truncate--> marker in your blog post to represent what will be shown as the summary when viewing all blog published blog posts. Anything above <!--truncate--> will be part of the summary. For example:

---
title: Truncation Exmaple
---

All this will be part of the blog post summary.

Even this.

<!--truncate-->

But anything from here on down will not be.

Not this.

Or this.
