Markdown lets you focus on writing, not HTML tags. Here's the structure I use for every post.
Frontmatter (YAML)
---
title: "My Post Title"

Content Structure
# Main Title (one per post)
Opening paragraph - hook the reader.
## Section Heading
Body text with **bold** and `inline code`.
### Subsection
- Bullet points
- For lists
```javascript
// Code blocks with language tag
const hello = 'world';
```
Tips
- One idea per paragraph
- Use headings every 3-4 paragraphs
- Code blocks for anything copy-pasteable
- Preview before publishing
