Getting Started with MDX Blogging

Welcome to your new MDX-powered blog! This sample post demonstrates the features available in your new blogging setup.

Code Snippets with Syntax Highlighting

Here's an example of a JavaScript function with beautiful syntax highlighting:

function greet(name) {
  console.log(`Hello, ${name}!`);
  return `Welcome to MDX blogging`;
}
 
const message = greet('Developer');
console.log(message);

TypeScript Support

TypeScript code also looks great:

interface BlogPost {
  title: string;
  date: Date;
  content: string;
  tags?: string[];
}
 
const createPost = (post: BlogPost): void => {
  console.log(`Creating post: ${post.title}`);
  // Post creation logic here
};

Python Examples

def fibonacci(n):
    """Generate Fibonacci sequence up to n terms"""
    a, b = 0, 1
    result = []
 
    for _ in range(n):
        result.append(a)
        a, b = b, a + b
 
    return result
 
print(fibonacci(10))

Markdown Features

You can use all standard markdown features:

  • Bold text for emphasis
  • Italic text for subtle emphasis
  • inline code for small code snippets
  • Links to external resources

Lists Work Great

  1. First item
  2. Second item
  3. Third item
    • Nested item
    • Another nested item

Blockquotes
