## Article Types & Sorting Strategy

Five distinct content formats with intelligent ordering

### Article Types

#### 📝 Life

Generic blog posts. Personal thoughts, reflections, stories.

`type: life`

#### 📸 Photo

Single photo or gallery. Visual-focused content with captions.

`type: photo`

#### 🔗 Link

Interesting external URL. Commentary + link to external content.

`type: link`

#### 💬 Quote

Pull quote with attribution. Emphasis on the quote itself.

`type: quote`

#### 💻 Tech

Code snippets & technical content. Syntax-highlighted code, technical explanations.

`type: tech`

### Articles List Sorting

Order: Pinned post (if exists) at top → then reverse chronological (newest first)

Implementation: Front-matter field `pinned: true` in post metadata

### Single Article View

Each article type gets a dedicated template with appropriate styling and metadata display.

#### Life / Tech / Photo

Standard article layout: title, date, content, tags

#### Quote

Large blockquote styling, author attribution, minimal text

#### Link

Preview/commentary + prominent link button, embed preview (if possible)

### Configuration in hugo.toml

All article types defined in config, making it easy to add new types or customize existing ones later.
