Introduction In my previous post on adding series support to my blog, I discussed the motivation behind this feature—how grouping related posts into a cohesive narrative enhances content organization, improves discoverability, and fosters deeper engagement. By implementing series support, I aimed to bridge content silos, making it easier for readers to follow along while also leveraging cross-platform compatibility with DEV and Hashnode. Now that the why is clear, it’s time to explore the how. This post is a deep dive into the technical implementation of series support in my Astro-powered blog. I’ll walk through the data modeling process, UI updates, and platform integration strategies that allow me to seamlessly structure and display series-based content—both on my site and across external platforms. By the end of this post, you’ll see how I built a flexible, scalable series system that enhances my blogging workflow while maintaining compatibility with DEV and Hashnode’s different approaches to series. Let’s get started!
