This is the first post. It doubles as a tour of what this blog can do: MDX, tags, images, self-hosted media, and third-party embeds.

Images

Images can live alongside the content and be referenced with a relative path:

A pixel diagram from the assets folder

Or they can be referenced from public/ with a path that Astro rewrites for the deployment base. The hero image above is imported and optimized through Astro’s asset pipeline.

Self-hosted media

Files you own go in public/audio and public/video. Both are wrapped in small components so the markup stays tidy.

Generated for testing, lives in public/audio/sample.mp3
VIDEO // self-hosted
Self-hosted video with a poster frame

Third-party embeds

Streaming services get a lazy iframe instead. Here is a YouTube video:

Anything you do not want to host yourself can be embedded without adding weight to the repo.

Tags and sharing

Every post is tagged, and every tag gets its own page. Sharing links sit right below the title, and the whole site publishes an RSS feed at /rss.xml.
