PUBLISH BRIEF — Cluster 2 (Mixing & Measuring)

Publish these 5 articles to the bmmold.com Shopify blog via the connected Shopify MCP (Admin API), with their infographics, the dates below, and SEO fields. Same process as Cluster 1. Do one as a test, then the rest. All 5 are NEW (none published yet).

Source

Folder: 02-mixing-measuring/<handle>/<handle>.md Infographics: 02-mixing-measuring/<handle>/images/infographic-*.png

Fixed settings (defaults)

• Blog: News (handle news) → URLs /blogs/news/<handle>.
• Author (byline): Nikolai Botsman (Admin API article.author free string).
• Status: visible / published.
• Featured image: LEAVE EMPTY (real photos added later). Do NOT use an infographic as the cover.

Procedure per article (same as Cluster 1)

1. Upload the article's infographic(s) to Shopify Files; capture each CDN URL.
2. Convert the .md body to HTML. Drop the top # Title and the trailing meta block (*Meta title:* …, *Meta description:* …, *Suggested URL handle:* …); keep the — Nikolai signature.
3. Replace each images/infographic-xxx.png in the body with its CDN URL; keep the markdown alt text as <img alt>.
4. Create the article via the Shopify MCP: blog=News, title+handle from table, author=Nikolai Botsman, published_at=date from table, published=true, body_html=converted HTML, SEO page title = Meta title, meta description = Meta description (metafields global.title_tag / global.description_tag).
5. Internal cross-links in the body are absolute https://www.bmmold.com/blogs/news/<handle> — they point to Cluster 1 + Cluster 2 posts, so publish those too for them to resolve.

After publishing

• Open https://www.bmmold.com/blogs/news/<handle> for #1 and confirm: title, byline "Nikolai Botsman", date, infographics render, links work, no raw markdown.
• Then publish #2–#5. Final check on /blogs/news: cards appear with correct dates (thumbnails blank until real featured photos are added — expected).

Note

These link to Cluster 1 articles (bubbles, sticky, cure, cloudy, safety, beginners) and to the Cluster 2 pillar. Publish Cluster 1 (see 01-resin-for-beginners/PUBLISH-BRIEF.md) as well so no internal link 404s.
