Some of you may have noticed that the blog software I use is called Pelican- a static file based blog generator. Other similar pieces of software include Hugo and Jekyll. I prefer Pelican due to my preference for Python. One issue I encountered when writing articles in markdown for pelican was remembering the header for the markdown files. A simple fix for this is to use VSCode to write your articles and to create a vscode snippet for the header. I have put mine below as an example. Type pelhead to trigger the snippet.

{
"Pelican Header": {
    "prefix": "pelhead",
    "body": [
        "Title:",
        "Date: $CURRENT_YEAR-$CURRENT_MONTH-$CURRENT_DATE $CURRENT_HOUR:$CURRENT_MINUTE,
        "Category:",
        "Tags:",
        "Authors: Your Name Here",
        "Summary:"
    ],
    "description": "Pelican header"
    }
}

Output:

Title: 
Date:
Category: 
Tags: 
Authors: Your Name Here
