Hello, World (PLACEHOLDER post)

⚠️ PLACEHOLDER POST. Everything on this page is sample content. Delete this file (posts/2026-10-01-hello-world-placeholder.md) once you’ve written your own posts.

Welcome to my new blog! This post exists only to show what’s possible. Posts are plain Markdown files, so you can use emphasis, links, lists and more:

• One file per post in posts/
• Front matter holds the title, date, optional cover and summary
• Media lives in media/

Images

Use standard Markdown image syntax, with a path starting media/:

![A generated sample photo](media/sample-photo.jpg)

Local video (mp4)

Put the file in media/ and write this on a line by itself:

{{video media/sample-video.mp4}}

(This 3-second clip is just ffmpeg’s test pattern.)

YouTube and Vimeo

Paste a share URL (or just the video ID) on its own line:

{{youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ}}
{{vimeo https://vimeo.com/76979871}}

(The embeds above are samples; they need an internet connection to load.)
