Feature: Add a blogs page to the OPEA io docs site

[mkbhanda]

We have a collection of OPEA blogs spanning how to create a custom ChatQnA application, use a DeekSeek model, achieve multi-model input QnA. It would be nice to list them on the OPEA io docs web site, serving links to these articles. In so doing it adds another way to find these blogs, keeping things all together.
We need to define a location in the docs repo to submit PRs to accept new blog links and automated tooling to publish these to the OPEA io docs site.

Some recently published blogs:

Hi @mkbhanda ,
can you elaborate on this,
Creating a separate blogs section is understandable, Do you also intend to scrape the content automatically and publish here

No scraping required. Let blog authors submit a PR by editing blogs.md.
The advantage of the PR is we can review the blog and ensure it is OPEA related versus scraping .. where AI could play a role to check if it was our OPEA project or other, but it would also need to take care of removing duplicates .. does that not feel like web crawling .. too much overhead!

The file itself should contain a table with entries in reverse chronological order. I was thinking of something like below.

Please submit PRs, organizing content in reverse chronological order.

You will have to research how to publish, you should be able to build and publish in your development setup https://github.com/opea-project/docs/blob/main/scripts/publish-README.md

Plus will need to add a link to the blogs file (follow best practice -- relative file or absolute path?)
in some navigation pane too. Perhaps grep for a file like CONTRIBUTING.md and see where all it pops up.

Hi @yinghu5 , We've already completed adding the basic blog page,
But it seems @mkbhanda had a broader vision, so we were waiting for her feedback and ideas.

Also we've already marked that OPEA_Team1 is working on this.

[mkbhanda]

I so appreciate two teams jumping on this issue but I am SAD that @NeoZhangJianyu either did not see that the issue was assigned to @pranavgupta1112 and team or if he took on the work earlier then not assigning it to himself. This avoids situations like this of duplicated work.

Agreed.
Hopefully this is an honest mistake and we won't run into it anytime soon.

@yinghu5 , We had a discussion with @mkbhanda , she had few suggestions,
We can complete those fixes together and close the issue post that.
