# Taylors.Life Development Guide

This is a Hugo static site for family content and blog posts.

## Build Commands
- `hugo` - Build the site
- `make build` - Build using makefile
- `make publish` - Build and deploy site

## Testing
No formal test suite. Verify build outputs locally before deployment.

## Code Style Guidelines

### Front Matter (Markdown)
- Use YAML front matter with title, date, draft, tags, author
- Include featuredImage path when using images
- File names: YYYY-MM-DD.md for dated posts, kebab-case otherwise
- Use typora-root-url: ../../static for local image previews

### Content Structure
- Store images in /static/img/[post-name]/
- Use relative image paths in content: /img/[post-name]/image.jpg
- Include alt text for all images
- Use HTML5 semantic elements where appropriate

### Shortcodes
- Video: `{< video width="640" height="360" src="/path/to/video.mp4" >}`
- Instagram: `{< instagram >}` for embeds

### Naming Conventions
- Post directories: kebab-case matching post title
- Image files: descriptive names, no spaces
- Tags: lowercase, space-separated in brackets

### Git Workflow
- Draft posts: draft: true in front matter
- Only commit when explicitly requested
- Use descriptive commit messages
