Let's begin by first describing exactly what we're building. I think most developers have a good idea of what a blog is, but every blog is different. For this guide, I will support the following features:

• A home page that displays the last ten blog articles, newest on top. For each blog post, we display the title, date published, and an excerpt of the post.
• A page that displays the blog post. This will have the title, published date, a list of categories assigned to the post, and the contents of the post itself.
• Every blog post will have one or more categories assigned to it. Each category will have its own index page with a list of blog posts assigned to it. Each item in the list will have the title and date of the post, nothing more.
• An author page, basically, who is doing the writing?
• An archives page that lists every single blog post. This will use Eleventy's pagination system.
• A set of category archive pages. The same idea as the main archives page, but unique per category.
• A RSS feed.
