A standalone blog/ folder (not course content) with drafts for jpaul.me: an announcement, a getting-started piece, then a hybrid weekly series — one post per module for Units 1-2 (posts 03-13) and one per unit for the back half (14-16) plus a capstone finale (17). Each post carries WordPress metadata, a [COURSE LINK] placeholder, and [insert screenshot] blocks for Justin to fill before publishing. README.md holds the manifest + checklist.

# 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.

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
|
||
|
||
- Replace every `[COURSE LINK]` placeholder with the public course URL (the GitHub mirror
|
||
once it's live, or the git.jpaul.io repo).
|
||
- 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.
