This is my first workflow. I'm still learning and it's pretty simple, nonetheless I wanted to share it and get some feedback
Jekyll and other static website generators use markdown with some special yml-like text at the beginning, the "Frontmatter". This can be tedious to create, especially if you manage a few websites / blogs. This workflow allows you to create a new post with the current date, setting a title and a category and have it saved and ready to edit with your favourite markdown editor. I use it on Your Financial Fallacies, a blog of mine.

Usage:
Then select the post's category.
Configuration
- Set the correct destination path in the Workflow configuration details
- Edit the `vpost` step to add your own categories.
- Edit the `Open file` step to set a default markdown editor.
- Change icons in the `post` and `vpost` steps to identify your blog.
Support multiple blogs
Simply duplicate the workflow in Alfred. Make only sure to set a new icon to the `post` and `vpost` steps, so that you can easily identify which blog you're posting to.
Feedback
I'd love to have your opinion on how to improve this, thank you!
