Fifty Flying Days

This is an example post. Delete it once you’ve got the hang of things.

Everything above the line of dashes is called front matter — it’s just settings for the post. The important ones are title, date, and the optional location, which shows up in the little instrument readout under the title.

Writing is just markdown

You write in plain markdown, which means bold, italic, links, and lists all work the way you’d expect:

  • One thing
  • Another thing
  • A third thing

Pull-quotes look like this — handy for a line from a book.

Drop an image into the assets/images/ folder, then reference it on its own line. The text in the square brackets is the caption:

A wing laid out at launch A wing laid out at launch

That’s the whole workflow. When you’re done, save the file and the site rebuilds itself.
