  ### Blogs posts
  <!-- BLOG-POST-LIST:START -->
  <!-- BLOG-POST-LIST:END -->

Make sure to include the comment tag cause the post will be placed in this

  <!-- BLOG-POST-LIST:START -->
  <!-- BLOG-POST-LIST:END -->

Now let us come to the logic, We are going to use blog-post-workflow action:

gautamkrishnar / blog-post-workflow

Show your latest blog posts from any sources or StackOverflow activity or Youtube Videos on your GitHub profile/project readme automatically using the RSS feed
For that create a file in .github/workflows/ called blog-post-workflow.yml

name: Latest blog post workflow
on:
  schedule: # Run workflow automatically
    - cron: '0 * * * *' # Runs every hour, on the hour
  workflow_dispatch: # Run workflow manually (without waiting for the cron to be called), through the Github Actions Workflow page directly
jobs:
  update-readme-with-blog:
    name: Update this repo's README with latest blog posts
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: gautamkrishnar/blog-post-workflow@master
        with:
          feed_list: "https://dev.to/feed/{username}"

Replace {username} with your username
