# Content Guide
How to add and edit content on the site. Two sections use **Content Collections**
(typed markdown/MDX); the interest pages are hand-built `.astro` files.
---
## Projects (Professional page)
Projects render from `src/content/projects/*.md` (or `.mdx`). Each file is one
project card. The schema lives in `src/content.config.ts`.
### Add a project
Create `src/content/projects/my-project.md`:
```md
---
title: 'My Awesome Project'
role: 'Lead Developer' # optional, default: 'Developer'
tech: ['TypeScript', 'Node.js', 'SAP BTP'] # rendered as pills
summary: 'A 2-3 sentence description of what it does and your contribution.'
repo: 'https://github.com/you/repo' # optional
demo: 'https://demo.example.com' # optional
caseStudy: 'https://blog.example.com' # optional
cover: '/images/my-project.png' # optional, public path
order: 20 # lower = shown first, default 100
placeholder: false # true hides it from "real" styling
---
Optional longer writeup in markdown here. The card only shows `summary`, but you
can link to a case study for depth.
```
### Field reference
| Field | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `title` | string | yes | Project name |
| `role` | string | no | e.g. "Lead Developer" |
| `tech` | string[] | no | Tag pills |
| `summary` | string | yes | Short card description |
| `repo` / `demo` / `caseStudy` | URL | no | Outbound links |
| `cover` | string | no | Image path in `public/` |
| `order` | number | no | Sort weight |
| `placeholder` | boolean | no | Marks it as a TODO card |
To remove the seed placeholder, delete `placeholder-project.md`. Aim for 3-6 real
entries per the spec.
---
## Experience (Professional timeline)
Experience renders from `src/content/experience/*.md`. Each file is one role on
the vertical timeline.
### Add a role
Create `src/content/experience/another-role.md`:
```md
---
company: 'Previous Co.'
title: 'Junior Developer'
period: '2016 - 2020' # free-form date label
focus: 'What you primarily did.' # optional
icon: 'briefcase' # mdi icon name for the marker
order: 20 # lower = more recent / first
---
- Bullet point of an accomplishment.
- Another bullet, ideally with a metric.
- One more, showing impact.
```
The body renders inside an expandable "Show details" panel. Use markdown lists
for bullets. Replace the bracketed placeholders in the seed `implico.md` with
real outcomes, metrics, and dates.
### Icon names
The `icon` field takes an mdi name without the `mdi:` prefix. Browse names at
[pictogrammers.com](https://pictogrammers.com/library/mdi/) or search the
installed set:
```bash
node -e "const m=require('./node_modules/@iconify-json/mdi/icons.json'); console.log(Object.keys(m.icons).filter(n=>n.includes('cloud')).join('\n'))"
```
---
## Interest pages
Each interest is a hand-built page in `src/pages/interests/`. They follow the
spec's template: **Header** (title + tagline), **Overview** (narrative),
**Highlights** (card grid), **Currently** (active now), **Related** (cross-links).
To edit content, open the relevant `.astro` file and change the copy in the
frontmatter arrays or the section bodies. To add a new interest:
1. Create `src/pages/interests/my-interest.astro` (copy an existing page as a
template).
2. Use `<BaseLayout surface="interest">`, `<InterestHero>`, `<InterestCard>`, and
`<RelatedInterests>`.
3. Add a card for it in `src/pages/interests/index.astro` (the hub).
---
## Global content (nav, socials, tagline)
Edit `src/lib/site.ts`:
- `siteIdentity` — name, tagline, domain
- `navGroups` — the two-group top nav
- `socials` — footer + contact links (replace the `[Greg to fill]` handles)
---
## Finding placeholders
Every `[Greg to fill]` gap from the spec is rendered as a styled **Placeholder**
slot (dashed border + pencil badge + "TODO · label"). To find them all:
```bash
grep -rn "Placeholder label" src/
grep -rn "Greg to fill\|\[Greg" src/
```
Replace each with real content as you gather it.
