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. 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!🪅🌟🤣😉🙃
