Welcome to Seiwa Holdings!

This guide will help you get started with your new Astro-powered blog. Whether you’re a content creator, developer, or someone looking to share knowledge, this platform provides everything you need.

Key Features

Seiwa Holdings comes with several powerful features right out of the box:

1. Multilingual Support

Your blog supports multiple languages, allowing you to reach a global audience. Currently, these languages are supported:

  • English
  • Spanish
  • French

To add content in another language, simply create corresponding posts in the appropriate language folders under src/content/blog/.

The built-in search functionality makes it easy for readers to find exactly what they’re looking for. The search index is automatically generated at build time using Pagefind.

3. Responsive Design

Your blog looks great on all devices, from mobile phones to desktop computers. The layout automatically adjusts to provide the best reading experience.

4. Category Organization

Content is organized by categories, making it easy for readers to browse related articles:

  • Guides: Step-by-step instructions
  • Tutorials: Hands-on learning resources
  • Fun: Entertainment and interesting content
  • Life Hacks: Tips and tricks to improve everyday life

Writing New Posts

To add a new blog post:

  1. Create a new markdown file in the appropriate language folder under src/content/blog/
  2. Add the required frontmatter (metadata) at the top of the file
  3. Write your content using Markdown

Here’s an example of the frontmatter structure:

---
title: "Your Post Title"
description: "A brief description of your post"
publishDate: 2025-01-20
author: "Your Name"
authorImage: "https://example.com/your-image.jpg"
image: "https://example.com/cover-image.jpg"
category: "Guides"
tags: ["tag1", "tag2", "tag3"]
---

Customizing Your Blog

Seiwa Holdings is built with customization in mind. Here are a few ways you can make it your own:

Styling

The blog uses Tailwind CSS for styling. You can customize the design by modifying the tailwind.config.mjs file and the CSS in src/styles/global.css.

Layout

The main layout components are in the src/layouts directory. Modify these files to change the structure of your pages.

Components

Reusable components are in the src/components directory. You can modify existing components or add new ones as needed.
