Posts are stored in the `_posts` directory and named according to the `YEAR-MONTH-DAY-title.MARKUP` format as per [the usual](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/posts/).
Where `YEAR` is a four-digit number, `MONTH` and `DAY` are both two-digit numbers, and `MARKUP` is the file extension representing the format used in the file. For example, the following are examples of valid post filenames:
```
2016-07-20-writing-jekyll-posts.md
2015-01-03-static-site-generators.markdown
```
**Recommended Front Matter Defaults:**
```yaml
