Hello World

Welcome to the NUSi blog.

This post is a small example of what a blog post can look like. Posts can be project updates, fabrication notes, workshop recaps, RTL tutorials, physical design explanations, event summaries, or informal logs from students learning something new.

Basic structure

Every blog post lives in the blogs/ folder and starts with metadata at the top. That metadata tells the website how to display the post card and post header.
