Typo in Published Post Title

Summary

A blog post was published with the title “Setting Up My First Homelba” instead of “Setting Up My First Homelab”. The typo was live for 1 hour and 12 minutes before being corrected.

Impact

The post content was correct. Navigation, links, and SEO metadata all reflected the typo. The Open Graph title shared on social media would have displayed “Homelba” to anyone who shared the URL during the window. No shares were recorded during this period.

Timeline

• 18:30 UTC — Post published with draft: false and pushed to main
• 18:31 UTC — Build and deploy completed successfully. All CI checks passed
• 19:42 UTC — Author re-read the post and noticed the title
• 19:43 UTC — Fix committed and pushed
• 19:44 UTC — Corrected build deployed

Root Cause

Human error. The frontmatter title field was typed manually. The pre-commit hook validates that the title field exists, not that it is spelled correctly. Spell-checking Markdown frontmatter is not part of the current pipeline.

Resolution

Pushed a one-line fix to correct the title in frontmatter. The corrected build deployed in under 60 seconds.

Action Items

• Fix the typo
• Consider adding a spell-check step to CI (low priority — typos are not security vulnerabilities)
• Read post titles out loud before setting draft: false
• Accept that humans make typos
