# Blog Content Guide

This directory contains markdown files for blog posts. Each blog post should be a `.md` file with frontmatter metadata.

## File Structure

```
content/
  blogs/
    your-blog-post-slug.md
```

## Frontmatter Format

Each blog post should start with YAML frontmatter containing metadata:

```yaml
---
title: "Your Blog Post Title"
excerpt: "A brief description of the blog post (150-200 characters recommended)"
date: "2024-01-15"  # ISO format: YYYY-MM-DD
author: "Author Name"
featuredImage: "/images/blog/your-image.jpg"  # Optional: path to featured image
tags: ["tag1", "tag2", "tag3"]  # Optional: array of tags
updatedAt: "2024-01-20"  # Optional: last update date
---
```

## Required Fields

- `title`: The blog post title
- `excerpt`: Brief description (used in listings and meta descriptions)
- `date`: Publication date in YYYY-MM-DD format

## Optional Fields

- `author`: Author name (defaults to "RevCraze Team")
- `featuredImage`: Path to featured image (relative to public folder)
- `tags`: Array of tags for categorization
- `updatedAt`: Last update date
- `readingTime`: Reading time in minutes (auto-calculated if not provided)

## Markdown Content

After the frontmatter, write your blog post content using standard Markdown syntax:

- Headers: `# H1`, `## H2`, `### H3`
- **Bold text**: `**bold**`
- *Italic text*: `*italic*`
- Lists: `- item` or `1. item`
- Links: `[text](url)`
- Images: `![alt text](image-url)`
- Code blocks: Use triple backticks

## Example

See `sample-blog-post.md` for a complete example.

## Image Optimization

- Place images in the `public/images/blog/` directory
- Use descriptive filenames
- Optimize images before uploading (recommended: WebP format, max 1200px width)
- Reference images with paths like `/images/blog/your-image.jpg`

## SEO Best Practices

1. **Title**: Make it descriptive and keyword-rich (50-60 characters)
2. **Excerpt**: Write compelling descriptions (150-160 characters)
3. **Content**: Use proper heading hierarchy (H1 → H2 → H3)
4. **Images**: Always include alt text for images
5. **Tags**: Use relevant tags for better categorization

## API Integration

The blog system also supports fetching posts from your backend API at:
`https://evdekho-backend-7f6f8ecf5616.herokuapp.com/api/v1/blogs`

If you prefer to manage blogs through an API instead of markdown files, ensure your API returns posts in this format:

```json
{
  "slug": "blog-post-slug",
  "title": "Blog Post Title",
  "excerpt": "Brief description",
  "content": "Full markdown or HTML content",
  "date": "2024-01-15",
  "author": "Author Name",
  "featuredImage": "https://example.com/image.jpg",
  "tags": ["tag1", "tag2"]
}
```

The system will automatically try the API first, then fall back to local markdown files.

Nissan Gravite Launched in India – Price, Images, Features & Mileage


The 2026 Renault Duster has finally made its return to the Indian SUV market after years of anticipation, going head-to-head with stalwarts like the 2026 Kia Seltos. Both SUVs bring compelling value, contemporary technology, and strong feature lists — but which one is the better pick for you? Let’s compare them across features, pricing, performance, mileage and more.

## New Renault Duster 2026 & Kia Seltos 2026 Launch

Renault Duster 2026 has just been unveiled with bookings open and prices expected to be announced around March 2026. It marks a big comeback with multiple petrol engines and a strong hybrid option slated for later.

Kia Seltos 2026 is already launched in India with prices starting at about ₹10.99 lakh (ex-showroom), bringing upgraded design, tech and comfort features.

## Engine, Performance & Power

| --- | --- | --- |
| Engine Options  | Turbo petrol, strong hybrid (expected) | Petrol, turbo petrol, diesel |
| Max Power      | ~160+ PS                               | Up to 160 PS                 |
| Max Torque     | Up to ~280 Nm                          | Up to 253 Nm                 |

The Duster's hybrid option is a unique highlight that could offer better city fuel efficiency once launched. Meanwhile the Seltos continues with a versatile ICE lineup and more transmission choices overall.
