Contentful Data Model for Blogs

The parsing expects the blog posts to be in the following format:

pub struct BlogPost {
    pub title: String,
    pub slug: String,
    pub content: String,
    pub tags: Option<Vec<String>>,
}

and be typed as blogPost in contentful. See src/posts.rs for more details.
