Frontmatter

All the files are markdown files with a frontmatter at the top of the file. They are all listed on the index page, except the ones

• with the draft: true property.
• with the listed: false property.

Bloggrify supports multiple Front-matter attributes for pages.

Controlling visibility

Three attributes decide who sees a page, and they answer three different questions. Mixing them up is easy, so it is worth being explicit:

• draft decides whether the page exists. A draft is never built, so its URL returns a 404.
• listed decides whether the blog points at it. An unlisted page is built and reachable, it just never shows up in the listings, the feed or the related posts.
• robots decides whether Google indexes it. Independent of the two above.

The last two are deliberately separate, because the useful combinations differ:

An about page is exactly why listed: false does not imply noindex: it is not a blog post, so it has no place in the listings, but you certainly want people to find it.

It also supports frontmatter to add metadata to your markdown files.
