testing! ♥️

I guess the testing...worked? Essentially, it all worked out. I had some issues with `zola serve` not automatically rebuilding and reloading the page upon editing data. That was handled by replacing the root folder for this website to the root of my WSL (as found [here](https://github.com/getzola/zola/issues/1440). This is something of a problem, as it would be great to test out any edits locally and then (maybe with a git hook) push a commit ánd sync the updated files to my server. But of course, we can't have everything, can we!

Another thing that bothers me is that I found a solution to a 'bug', but I don't understand the solution. After writing some initial posts, I started to wonder how the base HTML pages work together with these Markdown files to produce the actual statically generated website pages. The syntax looks similar to Jinja, which I am sort of used to using in one of my Python projects. But for the life of me, I couldn't get the actual HTML (which would show some metadata like a date and author above a post like this one), to show up. Then I started looking at the Github-folder for this theme and git cloned that repo and whaddayaknow: that clone **does** produce the expected HTML! I compared files, even diffed some, to understand what I was missing in my files or folder structure. In the end I couldn't find it, so I simply copy and pasted the files. And of course, it worked immediately. Sigh. Again: we can't have everything. But! We do have emojis. So. That's something!🪅🌟🤣😉🙃
