Writing

How I Write Blog Posts

Welcome to my blog post creation process! Here's a glimpse into how I bring ideas to life, blending text with AI-generated visuals for an immersive reader experience.

Idea Generation

The concepts and themes of my blog posts stem from my own experiences and insights gained through daily work.

Text Generation

To enhance readability and engagement, I utilize Copilot, an AI-powered code completion tool. Copilot suggests code snippets, text, and content based on the context of the blog post, enabling me to craft better and more engaging content.

How I Generate Images

I leverage various sources to create captivating visuals for my blog posts.

AI Generated Images

Utilizing Copilot, I generate images that complement the content of the blog post. These AI-generated visuals are crafted from textual descriptions, adding a unique and illustrative dimension to the narrative.

Screenshots

Screenshots play a vital role in illustrating concepts directly from the systems I describe. While not AI-generated, they provide real-world examples and enhance the authenticity of the content.

My Writing Tools

VS Code with GitHub Copilot: My primary writing and coding environment
Gatsby/Astro: Static site generators for building the blog
MDX: Markdown with JSX for rich, interactive content
AI Image Generation: Creating custom visuals for posts

Content Focus

My blog posts primarily cover:

Microsoft 365 & Teams: Development patterns, extensibility, and integrations
Azure: Cloud infrastructure, DevOps practices, and Bicep templates
SharePoint Framework (SPFx): Building modern SharePoint solutions
Web Development: Modern frameworks, TypeScript, and tooling
