Welcome

This is the official blog of E-Cell NITK Surathkal — a place for founder stories, event recaps, startup explainers, and practical guides for student entrepreneurs.

Use this post as a template when writing new posts. Everything below is plain Markdown with a few extra components.

Writing a new post

Create a file in content/blog/ named after your slug:

• File: content/blog/my-first-post.mdx
• URL: /blogs/my-first-post

Each file needs frontmatter at the top:

---
title: My First Post
description: One-line summary shown on cards and SEO.
image: /og-image.jpg
tags:
  - starters
author: Your Name
createdAt: 2026-02-01
updatedAt: 2026-02-01
---

Tip: keep description under 160 characters. It is used for cards and metadata.

Formatting guide

Headings

Use ## and ### for sections. They automatically get anchors and appear in the side minimap on desktop.

Text

You can use bold, italic, and links like normal Markdown.

This is a quote. Use it for key takeaways or founder quotes.

Lists

• One idea per bullet
• Keep bullets short and scannable

1. Start with the problem
2. Talk to users
3. Build the smallest version

Tables

Images

Images can be relative paths under /public or absolute URLs.
