# Blog posts (jpaul.me)
Drafts of blog posts for **jpaul.me** that promote and add value around *The Workflow*
course. **This folder is not course content**; it lives here only so the drafts are
version-controlled alongside the material they describe. Pull it out before any public
GitHub mirror push if you don't want the drafts shipped publicly.
## Conventions
- One Markdown file per post, numbered in intended publish order: `NN-slug.md`.
- Each file opens with a metadata block (suggested title, slug, meta description, tags)
for easy paste into WordPress; delete it before publishing or keep it as notes.
- Screenshots are left as `[insert a screenshot referencing XYZ here]` placeholders for
Justin to fill before publishing.
- Voice: conversational, first-person, value-first. Course link is a soft CTA, not the
whole point; each post should stand on its own for a reader who never takes the course.
## Publishing cadence & manifest
**Structure:** announcement + getting-started, then a weekly series. Hybrid granularity:
one post per *module* for the durable core (Units 12), one post per *unit* for the
faster-moving back half (Units 35), plus a capstone finale. 17 posts total.

Each file's top-of-file HTML comment holds the suggested title, slug, meta description,
and tags for WordPress. Titles above are starting points; every post also carries an
alt title in its metadata block.
## Before publishing: checklist
- [x] `[COURSE LINK]` placeholders filled with the course URL
`https://git.jpaul.io/justin/ai-workflow-course`. At public launch: (a) if the GitHub
mirror becomes the public home, swap these to the mirror URL; (b) inline cross-post
references ("announcement post", "last post", "course lab") currently all point at the
course home; repoint them to the specific jpaul.me post URLs (or wiki module pages)
once those exist.
- Fill every `[insert a screenshot referencing XYZ here]` placeholder with a real image.
- Decide whether to keep or strip the top-of-file metadata comment block.
