Blog or resource section has clear structure

A blog or resources section without navigational structure is harder to trust and harder to use than no blog at all. Visitors who land on a blog index page with no post dates cannot assess content freshness — for any topic where recency matters (tech, compliance, product features), undated posts are untrustworthy. Blog posts without a visible path back to the index trap visitors: they read one post and cannot find the next one, so they leave the site entirely. For SEO, a blog listing page with accessible titles and dates signals a maintained content repository to crawlers; a blog with no listing page and posts only accessible via direct URL provides minimal SEO benefit and zero organic discovery.

A minimally structured blog needs three elements:

1. A listing page at /blog with post titles visible and sortable by date
2. A visible date on each individual post
3. A "← Back to Blog" link or breadcrumb on each post page

In a Next.js MDX blog, ensure each post's frontmatter includes a date field and that the listing component reads and displays it:

// app/blog/page.tsx — listing page showing dates
import { getAllPosts } from '@/lib/mdx'

export default async function BlogIndex() {
  const posts = await getAllPosts()  // returns [{title, slug, date, excerpt}]
  return (
    <main>
      <h1>Blog</h1>
      <ul>
        {posts.map(post => (
          <li key={post.slug}>
            <Link href={`/blog/${post.slug}`}>{post.title}</Link>
            <time dateTime={post.date}>{formatDate(post.date)}</time>
          </li>
        ))}
      </ul>
    </main>
  )
}

Add <Link href="/blog">← Back to Blog</Link> at the top of each post's app/blog/[slug]/page.tsx.
