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 1–2), one post per unit for the faster-moving back half (Units 3–5), plus a capstone finale. 17 posts total.

Before publishing: checklist
[COURSE LINK]placeholders filled with the course URLhttps://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.
