Placeholder — What an Entry Looks Like
Placeholder copy. This post shows every field an entry can use: a date, tags, a hero image, and a body. The date in the filename is what orders the log and builds the URL.
Placeholder post. Everything below is filler that exists to hold the layout open — replace it with something worth reading.
A post starts wherever it wants to. There is no question being answered here and
no deliverable at the end, which is the whole difference between this and a
write-up: those are for work I set out to do, and this is for whatever I
happened to be thinking about that week. Both live in the same section, and the
ones with a result worth photographing get featured: true and a card at the
top of it.
A heading, if it needs one
Second-level headings get a chapter plate, the same as a full write-up. Most posts will not need more than one or two — if an entry has grown a table of contents it has probably turned into a write-up.
Body copy supports the usual Markdown: emphasis, inline code,
links, lists, and block quotes.
A pull quote reads well when the post is mostly argument and you want one line of it to land harder than the rest.
How posts are filed
The filename carries the date — _posts/YYYY-MM-DD-some-title.md — and that
date is what sorts the log and stamps the plate beside the entry. The slug after
the date becomes the URL, so /posts/some-title/.
Everything in the front matter above tags_list is optional except the title.
Drop the tags and the row closes up; add an image and the post gets a hero. The
newer/older links at the bottom come from the layout.
