Hi All

I’ve had an on and off relationship with blogging over the years originally with a rudimentary php/mysql cmd I wrote when I was about 16 😂 bur mostly Wordpress but don’t like how bloated it is now and over complicated and always being attacked.

I found I spent too much time worrying about the tool the theme etc and and up with overwhelm and lack of focus

So I’d been looking at things like Hugo and that seems a bit of a hassle then it hit me after seeing a friends site maybe Publish would fit the bill. Obsidian revolutionised my ability to focus and write notes and documents because it’s simple uncluttered design.

But can it effectively be used as a blog ? Eg occasional posts by date.

Assume I would manually have to write a title and summary then link to a page of the post?

Or is there a way to leverage bases and show 4 most recent notes and have the summary as a property in the headers?

What I envisage is a small area for occasional posts I feel like making with the main thing being somewhere I put my notes, in my case technical guides - I work in IT and have to document a lot and write up processes and guides for my team at work so planning to share what I’ve learnt with others who are learning.

Does anyone run a traditional blog with it?

I have a couple of final questions

does it need its own vault or can it be based off a subfolder my my existing vault?

will it host images I add to notes as well?

Thanks for any advice
