First post. Mostly a note to myself on how to add the next one.
Adding a post
Create a file in _posts/ named YYYY-MM-DD-some-title.md. The date and the
title in the filename decide the URL, so 2026-09-14-hello.md becomes
/blog/2026/09/14/hello/.
Start the file with this block, then write markdown underneath:
---
title: "Your title here"
date: 2026-09-14
tags: [rust, notes]
description: "One sentence. Search engines show this under the link."
---
Only title and date are required. description is worth writing anyway.
Without it, search results and the blog index fall back to the first chunk of
the post, which is rarely the sentence you’d pick.
Commit, push, wait about a minute. GitHub builds the site and the post is live.
The rest of it
Put <!--more--> after your opening paragraph to control where the excerpt
cuts off. Code blocks, tables, images, and footnotes all work the usual way.
Drop images in assets/ and link them relatively.
To save a post for later, add published: false to the front matter. It stays
in the repo and stays off the site.
