By default, new posts are created as drafts. To make sure it’s published:

1. Open your post in Notepad: notepad content/posts/my-first-post.md
2. Look at the front matter (the first few lines at the top). It should look like this: --- title: "My First Post" date: 2025-02-14T10:00:00+05:30 draft: false ---
   • If draft: true, change it to false.
   • Save and close the file.

🔹 Rebuild the Website

1. Stop the Hugo server (Ctrl + C).
2. Restart Hugo: hugo server -D
3. Open your browser and go to: http://localhost:1313/posts/my-first-post/

🎯 Final Summary

✅ Use hugo server -D to restart your local Hugo server.
✅ If the post is not showing, check if draft: false in the post file.
✅ Access your post at http://localhost:1313/posts/my-first-post/.
