Content requirements

Create a markdown-with-frontmatter file with content that meets the following requirements:

  1. A frontmatter block at the top of the file that provides three pieces of metadata about the news post:

    1. pub_date - publication date of the news post as a date string in the format YYYY-MM-DD, ie: pub_date: 2024-03-01 for March 1, 2024.
    2. title - title of the news post as a string, short and sweet, ie: title: Petition Signing
    3. blurb - brief (1-2 sentences) description about event as a string, ie: blurb: We invite you to sign a Petition opposing CZMP 1-008 & 1-009
  2. The news post content written up as markdown that adheres to the following conventions:

    1. The headings should start at the second level (##) since the frontmatter's title is reserved for the first level (#).
    2. Links are added with the following syntax: [link text](url)
    3. Images are added with the following syntax: ![Description of some image](../../img/example.png) (note that all image paths should start with ../../img/, which is to say that images go in src/img/)
    4. Email links are added with the following syntax: [mailto:relaytownhall@gmail.com](relaytownhall@gmail.com)

The images directory

Put images featured in all news posts in src/img/.

Since news posts are added to src/content/news, all images featured in news posts should have the path ../../img/example.png.

## Petition Signing-March 17th 4-7pm

Dear Relay Neighbors:

We invite you to sign a Petition opposing CZMP 1-008 & 1-009 during our "Covered Dish" on March 17th, 4-7pm at the Relay Town Hall; 1710 Arlington Avenue.

Issue CZMP 1-008 & 1-009 state that the property owner wishes to re-zone properties from RC-5 (Rural Conservation) to BM (Business) zoning. While these properties are separated by I-95; they are linked and along with Gun Road residents, Relay residents voiced their opposition to this zoning request change on February 6th during the County Planning process. This area was deemed rural conservation for some time now and for good reason. We have to band together and ensure the zoning remains intact.

Neighbors from Gun Road have submitted their petition to Councilman Pat Young's office and plan to do the same. We ask if you are like-minded that you sign this petition. If you are unable to join us this coming Sunday, please submit your opposition to [mailto:relaytownhall@gmail.com](relaytownhall@gmail.com).

Thank you for your continued support and hope to see you on Sunday.

File naming requirements

Name the file as a concatenation of the file's frontmatter's date and title keys, ie: 2024-03-01 Petition Signing.md.

The file should be added to src/content/news/.
