Build a blog for content marketing and SEO.

**Note:** This kit uses **Keystatic CMS** for content management with Markdoc format by default, and also offers a WordPress integration. 

You can easily switch to another CMS by changing the `CMS_CLIENT` environment variable and creating a new CMS implementation.

Keystatic uses [Markdoc](https://markdoc.io) for content management - so files are expected to be `.mdoc` files written in Markdoc format.

## Blog Structure

Organize blog posts with metadata:

```
apps/web/content/posts/
├── hello-world.mdoc  
├── getting-started.mdoc
└── best-practices.mdoc
```

## Blog Post Format

Use [Markdoc](https://markdoc.io) for rich content:

```mdx
---
title: "Getting Started with Our SaaS Kit"
description: "Learn how to build your SaaS product faster."
publishedAt: "2024-01-15"
tags: ["tutorial", "getting-started"]
status: "published"
---
```

You can then add the content of the blog post to the file below the frontmatter.
