Building a Series: Part 2

Welcome back! This second part explores how to use the new post series feature effectively.

Tips

Keep slugs stable: Pick a concise, permanent slug (building-a-series).

Number sequentially: Use seriesIndex starting at 1. Skip numbers only if you intentionally remove an entry.

Provide context: In each part, briefly recap prior entries and link forward/backward.

When grouping existing posts:

  • Add matching series slugs to their frontmatter.
  • Assign seriesIndex in logical reading order (not necessarily publication date).
  • Optionally update descriptions to clarify how each part fits.
