### writing posts
41+
42+
to write a new post, make a markdown file named `site/$YEAR/$MONTH/post-title.md`. Start it out like this:
43+
44+
```
45+
# Post title
46+
<date>2026-05-05</date>
47+
48+
Some content...
49+
```
50+
51+
To add images, place them in `site/$YEAR/$MONTH/images/`. You can then embed them in your markdown like this:
52+
53+
```
54+
![some alt text](./images/name.png)
55+
```

`main` is automatically built and pushed by github actions. for now, you will need to make your own arrangements if wanting to deploy draft versions (from PRs, etc)
