## Best Practices

### Use Descriptive Prefixes

Number your files with two-digit prefixes (`00-`, `01-`, `02-`) to maintain clear ordering:

- Allows up to 100 sections before needing three digits
- Keeps files sorted in file managers
- Makes reordering easy (just rename)

### Choose the Right Format

- **Markdown (`.md`)** - For most content. Simple, clean, readable.
- **HTML (`.html`)** - For complex layouts or embedded media.
- **PHP (`.php`)** - For dynamic content, calculations, or data display.

### Keep It Simple

Don't overcomplicate. If your page works well as a single file, keep it that way. Use multiple files when they genuinely make maintenance easier.
