Hello, small web home

A first note for the blog: what this space is for and how the writing workflow works.

metawritingweb

This is the first post in the new blog. Posts are written in MDX, which means normal Markdown works, and richer components can be added later when an essay needs something interactive.

What belongs here

  • Project notes
  • Short technical writeups
  • Reading reflections
  • Photo-backed field notes

The site does not need a backend for this. The content and images are bundled at build time, then deployed as static files.

Adding a photo

Put a photo in public/images and reference it like this:

![A useful alt text](/images/my-photo.jpg)

For post-specific photos, place the image next to the MDX file and import it with Astro image components later.
