qpost: Create a 'Quarto' Blog Post

Provides an interactive 'RStudio' dialog for creating 'Quarto' blog posts with correctly structured YAML front matter. The dialog collects title, author, date, categories, and other metadata, then scaffolds the post directory, creates the 'index.qmd' file, and optionally copies an image. A companion function appends COinS (ContextObjects in Spans) metadata to posts for automatic bibliographic import into reference managers such as 'Zotero'.
