🤖 Automation & Workflow

To maintain a decade-long blog, efficiency is key. This project utilizes automation to streamline the content pipeline:

• Content Management: Leveraging Google Sheets and Airtable as a headless CMS to track article ideas and publication schedules.
• Posting Pipeline: Custom Python scripts (see New.py) designed to interface with the Blogger API for automated drafting and publishing.
• Markdown First: All research begins in Markdown here in this repo, ensuring a portable and version-controlled history of every post.
