This is an example post — here's how to write your own

Welcome — this file is a working template. To publish a new article, duplicate blog/example-post.html, give it a descriptive filename (your "slug"), edit the header above and this body, then add a matching card on the blog index. That's the whole workflow — no build step, just files.

How to publish a new post

Everything you need is spelled out in the comments of this file and the index page. In short:

• Copy this file and rename it, e.g. moving-off-vmware.html — use lowercase words joined by hyphens.
• Edit the <title>, meta description and canonical URL near the top so search engines index it correctly.
• Change the date, headline and standfirst in the header, then write your article right here in the body.
• On blog/index.html, copy one post card, paste it at the top of the list, and update its link, date, title and excerpt.

Formatting you can use

Section headings, lists and emphasis all render in the site's style automatically. Use them to give a long piece structure and rhythm — readers (and search engines) reward well-organised writing.

Pull quotes look like this — good for a sharp line you want to stand out from the surrounding paragraphs.

Inline links carry the cyan accent, like a mention of the main site or an external reference. Keep paragraphs focused and let the whitespace do some of the work.

A note on tone

These posts should read the way the rest of the site does: senior, pragmatic and evidence-led. Write about what you actually do — cyber resilience, infrastructure, virtualisation, architecture, leadership and governance — and let the credibility carry it.
