+
+Features:
+
+- ✅ Minimal styling (make it your own!)
+- ✅ 100/100 Lighthouse performance
+- ✅ SEO-friendly with canonical URLs and OpenGraph data
+- ✅ Sitemap support
+- ✅ RSS Feed support
+- ✅ Markdown & MDX support
+
+## 🚀 Project Structure
+
+Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:
+
+```text
+├── public/
+├── src/
+│   ├── components/
+│   ├── content/
+│   ├── layouts/
+│   └── pages/
+├── astro.config.mjs
+├── README.md
+├── package.json
+└── tsconfig.json
+```
+
+Astro looks for `.astro` or `.md` files in the `src/pages/` directory. Each page is exposed as a route based on its file name.
+
+There's nothing special about `src/components/`, but that's where we like to put any Astro/React/Vue/Svelte/Preact components.
+
+The `src/content/` directory contains "collections" of related Markdown and MDX documents. Use `getCollection()` to retrieve posts from `src/content/blog/`, and type-check your frontmatter using an optional schema. See [Astro's Content Collections docs](https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/content-collections/) to learn more.
+
+Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the `public/` directory.
+
+## 🧞 Commands
+
+All commands are run from the root of the project, from a terminal:
+
+| Command                   | Action                                           |
+| :------------------------ | :----------------------------------------------- |
+| `npm install`             | Installs dependencies                            |
+| `npm run dev`             | Starts local dev server at `localhost:4321`      |
+| `npm run build`           | Build your production site to `./dist/`          |
+| `npm run preview`         | Preview your build locally, before deploying     |
+| `npm run astro ...`       | Run CLI commands like `astro add`, `astro check` |
+| `npm run astro -- --help` | Get help using the Astro CLI                     |

+
+Here is a sample of some basic Markdown syntax that can be used when writing Markdown content in Astro.
+
+## Headings
+
+The following HTML `<h1>`—`<h6>` elements represent six levels of section headings. `<h1>` is the highest section level while `<h6>` is the lowest.
+
+# H1
+
+## H2
+
+### H3
+
+#### H4
+
+##### H5
+
+###### H6
+
+## Paragraph
+
+Xerum, quo qui aut unt expliquam qui dolut labo. Aque venitatiusda cum, voluptionse latur sitiae dolessi aut parist aut dollo enim qui voluptate ma dolestendit peritin re plis aut quas inctum laceat est volestemque commosa as cus endigna tectur, offic to cor sequas etum rerum idem sintibus eiur? Quianimin porecus evelectur, cum que nis nust voloribus ratem aut omnimi, sitatur? Quiatem. Nam, omnis sum am facea corem alique molestrunt et eos evelece arcillit ut aut eos eos nus, sin conecerem erum fuga. Ri oditatquam, ad quibus unda veliamenimin cusam et facea ipsamus es exerum sitate dolores editium rerore eost, temped molorro ratiae volorro te reribus dolorer sperchicium faceata tiustia prat.
+
+Itatur? Quiatae cullecum rem ent aut odis in re eossequodi nonsequ idebis ne sapicia is sinveli squiatum, core et que aut hariosam ex eat.
+
+## Images
+
+#### Syntax
+
+```markdown
+![Alt text](./full/or/relative/path/of/image)
+```
+
+#### Output
+
+![blog placeholder](/blog-placeholder-about.jpg)
+
+## Blockquotes
+
+The blockquote element represents content that is quoted from another source, optionally with a citation which must be within a `footer` or `cite` element, and optionally with in-line changes such as annotations and abbreviations.
+
+### Blockquote without attribution
+
+#### Syntax
+
+```markdown
+> Tiam, ad mint andaepu dandae nostion secatur sequo quae.  
+> **Note** that you can use _Markdown syntax_ within a blockquote.
+```
+
+#### Output
+
+> Tiam, ad mint andaepu dandae nostion secatur sequo quae.  
+> **Note** that you can use _Markdown syntax_ within a blockquote.
+
+### Blockquote with attribution
+
+#### Syntax
+
+```markdown
+> Don't communicate by sharing memory, share memory by communicating.<br>
+> — <cite>Rob Pike[^1]</cite>
+```
+
+#### Output
+
+> Don't communicate by sharing memory, share memory by communicating.<br>
+> — <cite>Rob Pike[^1]</cite>
+
+[^1]: The above quote is excerpted from Rob Pike's [talk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAAkCSZUG1c) during Gopherfest, November 18, 2015.
+
+## Tables
+
+#### Syntax
+
+```markdown
+| Italics   | Bold     | Code   |
+| --------- | -------- | ------ |
+| _italics_ | **bold** | `code` |
+```
+
+#### Output
+
+| Italics   | Bold     | Code   |
+| --------- | -------- | ------ |
+| _italics_ | **bold** | `code` |
+
+## Code Blocks
+
+#### Syntax
+
+we can use 3 backticks ``` in new line and write snippet and close with 3 backticks on new line and to highlight language specific syntac, write one word of language name after first 3 backticks, for eg. html, javascript, css, markdown, typescript, txt, bash
+
+````markdown
+```html
+<!doctype html>
+<html lang="en">
+  <head>
+    <meta charset="utf-8" />
+    <title>Example HTML5 Document</title>
+  </head>
+  <body>
+    <p>Test</p>
+  </body>
+</html>
+```
+````
+
+Output
+
+```html
+<!doctype html>
+<html lang="en">
+  <head>
+    <meta charset="utf-8" />
+    <title>Example HTML5 Document</title>
+  </head>
+  <body>
+    <p>Test</p>
+  </body>
+</html>
+```
+
+## List Types
+
+### Ordered List

+#### Syntax
+
+```markdown
+1. First item
+2. Second item
+3. Third item
+```
+
+#### Output
+
+1. First item
+2. Second item
+3. Third item
+
+### Unordered List
+
+#### Syntax
+
+```markdown
+- List item
+- Another item
+- And another item
+```
+
+#### Output
+
+- List item
+- Another item
+- And another item
+
+### Nested list
+

+title: 'Using MDX'
+description: 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet'
+pubDate: 'Jul 02 2022'
+heroImage: '/blog-placeholder-5.jpg'
+---
+
+This theme comes with the [@astrojs/mdx](https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/integrations-guide/mdx/) integration installed and configured in your `astro.config.mjs` config file. If you prefer not to use MDX, you can disable support by removing the integration from your config file.
+
+## Why MDX?
+
+MDX is a special flavor of Markdown that supports embedded JavaScript & JSX syntax. This unlocks the ability to [mix JavaScript and UI Components into your Markdown content](https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/markdown-content/#mdx-features) for things like interactive charts or alerts.
+
+If you have existing content authored in MDX, this integration will hopefully make migrating to Astro a breeze.
+
+## Example
+
+Here is how you import and use a UI component inside of MDX.  
+When you open this page in the browser, you should see the clickable button below.
+
+import HeaderLink from '../../components/HeaderLink.astro';
+
+<HeaderLink href="#" onclick="alert('clicked!')">
+	Embedded component in MDX
+</HeaderLink>
+
+## More Links
+
+- [MDX Syntax Documentation](https://mdxjs.com/docs/what-is-mdx)
+- [Astro Usage Documentation](https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/markdown-content/#markdown-and-mdx-pages)
+- **Note:** [Client Directives](https://docs.astro.build/en/reference/directives-reference/#client-directives) are still required to create interactive components. Otherwise, all components in your MDX will render as static HTML (no JavaScript) by default.

+			<h1>🧑‍🚀 Hello, Astronaut!</h1>
+			<p>
+				Welcome to the official <a href="https://astro.build/">Astro</a> blog starter template. This
+				template serves as a lightweight, minimally-styled starting point for anyone looking to build
+				a personal website, blog, or portfolio with Astro.
+			</p>
+			<p>
+				This template comes with a few integrations already configured in your
+				<code>astro.config.mjs</code> file. You can customize your setup with
+				<a href="https://astro.build/integrations">Astro Integrations</a> to add tools like Tailwind,
+				React, or Vue to your project.
+			</p>
+			<p>Here are a few ideas on how to get started with the template:</p>
+			<ul>
+				<li>Edit this page in <code>src/pages/index.astro</code></li>
+				<li>Edit the site header items in <code>src/components/Header.astro</code></li>
+				<li>Add your name to the footer in <code>src/components/Footer.astro</code></li>
+				<li>Check out the included blog posts in <code>src/content/blog/</code></li>
+				<li>Customize the blog post page layout in <code>src/layouts/BlogPost.astro</code></li>
+			</ul>
+			<p>
+				Have fun! If you get stuck, remember to <a href="https://docs.astro.build/"
+					>read the docs
+				</a> or <a href="https://astro.build/chat">join us on Discord</a> to ask questions.
+			</p>
+			<p>
+				Looking for a blog template with a bit more personality? Check out <a
