Setting up the basic project with collections

Let’s start by reviewing what we learned in Chapters 4 and 5 and set up a collection for our photo posts. To get things properly configured, add a new directory in the src directory and name it posts. This is where we can store all the posts for the photo blog.

Each post can start with three pieces of frontmatter: title, description, and date:

---
title: This is the first gallery
description: This is a gallery of kittens
date: "2022-11-01"
---

For our photo site, we’ll deviate a little bit from the traditional way of creating these new posts and instead of putting the Markdown file directly in the posts directory, we’ll create a subdirectory with the post slug as its name. In that directory, the post will be added with the name index.md. This will allow us to colocate the post’s images with the post markdown.

Your posts directory should look like the following structure:

- posts
