How this blog works
Every post is a single markdown file in /content/blog/. Name the file
YYYY-MM-DD-a-short-slug.md and the post publishes itself at
/news/a-short-slug. No database, no admin login, no plugin updates.
Front matter
The block at the top of this file sets the title, date, author, summary, and
tags. Only title is required. Add draft: true to keep a post off the live
site while you work on it. Drafts still show up when you preview locally.
What you can write
Bold, italic, and inline code all work. So do links, like this one to
the home page. Lists are straightforward:
- Bullet points
- Nested items work one level deep
- Numbered lists too
Block quotes look like this. Useful for pulling a line out of a letter or a newspaper clipping.
Images go in /assets/img/ and are referenced by path:
Publishing
Upload the .md file to /content/blog/ over FTP or the cPanel file manager.
It appears on the site immediately. To unpublish, delete the file or set
draft: true.
