Hi @eeshaanSA and @khanhtc1202,

Following up on my previous PR, this tackles the 'Contribute to PipeCD Blogs' section of Epic #6124, as requested.

This PR adds the new guide, which includes:

  • The required blog post frontmatter (date, author, categories, etc.).
  • Guidelines for submitting new blog content.

This completes the second major section of the overall Contributing Epic.
Thanks for the review!

The current information is good, but vague. We need more info, for example:

  • You have to raise a PR on GitHub to get your blog approved by the maintainers and added to the site.

  • What kinds of content we accept? (Short Ans: Anything related to PipeCD, CI/CD and CNCF)

  • A link to markdown rules might be a good to have

@shivansh-gohem, why dont you try contributing to the blog before you close this PR? This way, you will know exactly what to put in into this PR 👀

I dont know how much you are familiar with PipeCD or CI/CD in general, but if you are not, let's get you started.

Have you joined the PiepCD slack channel yet?

Hi @eeshaanSA,

Thanks again for the patience and detailed guidance. I've completed all the remaining tasks:

Code Status: I've applied the final changes (including the simplified description and the linkTitle fix) and pushed the update.

Slack: I've successfully joined the #pipecd Slack channel.

I must admit, while I'm enthusiastic about contributing, my knowledge of CI/CD and PipeCD's internals is still small. I understand the documentation process well now, but I could really use some help on the technical side of the project.

I'm ready to tackle the blog post next, but I'm looking for guidance on a specific topic that would be valuable to the community.

Could you guide me on a topic or suggest a focus area for my first blog post that would best showcase PipeCD?

Thanks for getting me started!

@shivansh-gohem, I cant see you on the slack channel yet. 👀

And I can see from your other PRs that you were successful in setting up a local build of PipeCD and even deployed a sample k8s application.

I think it would be great to have a blog/guide on how to setup PipeCD locally. What do you think?
