The Fold Within Earth

A Markdown-native static site for multi-section content.

Authoring Guide

To add or edit content, create or modify Markdown files in /content/<section>/<year>/<slug>.md.

Front-Matter Spec

Use YAML front-matter at the top of each .md file:

---
title: Your Title
date: YYYY-MM-DD
excerpt: Optional short description.
tags: [tag1, tag2]
section: one-of-the-sections (must match directory)
slug: optional-custom-slug
cover: /media/image.webp (optional)
author: Optional author name
series: Optional series name for serialized posts
programs: [neutralizing-narcissism, open-source-justice] # or [coparent]
status: published (default if missing) or draft (excluded from build unless --include-drafts)
---

Then the Markdown body.

Sections must be one of:

• empathic-technologist
• recursive-coherence
• fold-within-earth
• neutralizing-narcissism
• simply-we
• mirrormire

Year directory should match the date year.

Programs (Ministry)

Use programs in front-matter to associate posts with ministry initiatives:

programs:
  - neutralizing-narcissism
  - open-source-justice
  - coparent

Pages for each program live at:

content/pages/programs/<program-key>.md

The “Start Here” page lives at:

content/pages/start-here.md

Routes:

• #/start — Launchpad
• #/programs — Programs overview
• #/program/<key> — Program archive + landing content

If front-matter is malformed (e.g., invalid YAML), the file is skipped with a warning in build logs.
