# Blog
|
|
|
|
Hugo Book includes templates for blog-style posts with dates, tags, and pagination. Blog functionality is very basic.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
Create a `posts/` section in your content directory
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
content/
|
|
└── posts/
|
|
├── _index.md
|
|
└── my-first-post.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Add the blog section to a menu so readers can find it
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
---
|
|
title: Blog
|
|
menu:
|
|
after:
|
|
weight: 5
|
|
---
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Post Frontmatter
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
---
|
|
title: "My First Post"
|
|
date: 2025-01-15
|
|
tags: ["hugo", "documentation"]
|
|
categories: ["Guides"]
|
|
---
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Thumbnails
|
|
|
|
Posts can display a thumbnail image. By default the theme looks for a file matching `thumbnail.*` in the post's page bundle. Override the pattern per-post
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
---
|
|
bookPostThumbnail: "cover.*"
|
|
---
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Date Format
|
|
|
|
The date display format is configured site-wide via `BookDateFormat`. See [Configuration](/docs/getting-started/configuration/) for details.
