Built for Future Articles

Journal entries are managed in local TypeScript content at content/journal-posts.ts. Each post supports title, slug, category, summary, featured image, publication date, author, article content, SEO fields, and draft or published status.

Coming-soon entries appear on this page without dates. When an article is ready, set its status to published, add a publication date, and it can link to a future article page at /ranch-journal/[slug].
