Automate Your Blog with Notion and AI: A Self-Demonstrating Workflow

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 21:41:59 -0500

This post you’re reading right now? It was created by an AI reading a to-do item from my Notion database. That’s the power of combining Notion with AI assistants. The problem every blogger faces: brilliant ideas die in the gap between inspiration and execution.

My solution: a Notion to-do list where I capture ideas, and AI assistants (Claude Code and ChatGPT) read from it via Model Context Protocol, generate complete posts, publish them to my Hugo blog, and mark the to-dos complete. It’s self-demonstrating—this very post was created that way. The workflow transforms content creation from manual drudgery into an automated pipeline.

If you’re drowning in blog ideas but low on execution energy, this might be your answer. Are you using Notion for content management? Have you explored AI integrations for your blog?

Managing Blog Posts with GitHub Copilot

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 16:25:00 -0500

Managing a blog used to mean juggling multiple tools—notes apps for ideas, editors for drafting, task trackers for progress. It was fragmented and exhausting. Then I discovered GitHub Copilot can work directly with GitHub Issues and Projects, creating a seamless workflow.

Here’s how it works: I create issues for blog post ideas, GitHub Copilot reads the issue, generates the complete post with proper frontmatter and content, and automatically closes the issue when I publish. No context switching, no lost ideas, just a smooth pipeline from concept to publication. The best part? Everything lives in one place alongside my code.

If you’re blogging and using GitHub, this workflow is a game-changer. How are you managing your content pipeline? Have you tried integrating your blog workflow with your code repository?

Welcome to My New Blog

Sun, 01 Feb 2026 22:16:10 -0500

Welcome to my new blog! I’m excited to finally have my own corner of the internet. I wanted to kick things off by sharing how I built this site and what you can expect. I chose Hugo because it’s fast, simple, and has an incredible developer experience—millisecond rebuilds and automatic browser refresh make writing feel effortless.

The github-style theme keeps things clean and content-focused. Everything’s hosted on GitHub Pages with automated deployments, so publishing is as simple as pushing to main. No servers, no databases, just pure static speed. I’ll be writing about development, AI tools, productivity workflows, and lessons from my software engineering journey.

Glad you’re here! What brought you to this blog? Are you using static site generators for your own projects?
