Description

Add a new post to the WomenDevsSG Community Blog. This is an open invitation for members to share their stories, experiences, and technical insights with the community.

You can write about anything related to your journey or learning experience. Suggested topics include:

  • How to contribute to open source
  • My open source story
  • Why I joined WomenDevsSG
  • 3 things I learned from WomenDevsSG events
  • Any technical article (tutorial, project showcase, career tips, etc.)

Goal

Encourage members to share knowledge, experiences, and inspiration through the community blog, helping others learn and connect.

File Path

Create a new file under:
src/content/blog/YOUR_POST_TITLE.md

Example:
src/content/blog/my-open-source-journey.md

Requirements

  • Each post should be written in Markdown (.md).
  • Include a short frontmatter section at the top with:
    ---
    title: "Your Blog Title"
    author: "Your Name"
    date: "YYYY-MM-DD"
    description: "A short one-line summary of your post"
    ---
    
  • Use clear headings (##) to structure your post.
  • Keep posts beginner-friendly and conversational in tone.
  • Include links, images, or code snippets if relevant.
  • Avoid AI-generated or copied content — write in your own voice.

Acceptance Criteria

  • A new blog post file exists in src/content/blog/
  • Frontmatter includes title, author, date, and description
  • Content is formatted in valid Markdown and builds correctly
  • Writing is clear, authentic, and relevant to the WomenDevsSG community
  • Post fits within one of the suggested or approved themes

Notes for Contributors

  • This is a great way to start contributing to open source — no coding required.
  • You can share your post idea in the Telegram group hacktoberfest channel for feedback before submitting
  • Keep your tone friendly and conversational — write like you’re sharing with a fellow developer.
  • Include headings (##), links, or code snippets if relevant.
  • Once your PR is merged, your post will automatically appear on the Community Blog page.
