Adding year/month to post URLs to futureproof us

[ryanmacklin]

As I'm looking at the execution in gitpod of our first post. I'm struck with worrying about writing us into corner when it comes to future stubs over the life of the blog. What's the a) feasibility and b) reasonability of having it go: /blog/20xx/0Y/stub as the URL?

Related, do we have the capacity of assigning a stub that isn't autogenerated? I don't see that in the current demos, so I'm not sure what the YAML var is for that.

I would rather not put year month in URL slugs. That data is already stored in the Front Matter.

/blog/slug is my preference.

Is the slug solely autogenerated, or can we supply a custom one in the header?

[bwklein]

It is autogenerated from the title. But you can change it to be anything you want after that.
