Second post

You’ll find this post in your _posts directory. Go ahead and edit it and re-build the site to see your changes. You can rebuild the site in many different ways, but the most common way is to run bridgetown serve, which launches a web server and auto-regenerates your site when a file is updated.

Bridgetown requires blog post files to be named according to the following format:

YEAR-MONTH-DAY-title.EXT

Where YEAR is a four-digit number, MONTH and DAY are both two-digit numbers, and EXT is the file extension representing the format used in the file (for example, md for Markdown). After that, include the necessary front matter. Take a look at the source for this post to get an idea about how it works.
