title: "Authoring a blog in Markdown"
summary: "Blogging for fun and posterity (myself)"
---

The core thesis of this project is using [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md) for authoring my blog posts. I'm a big fan of Markdown for authoring and Obsidian's already where I keep my notes. It's gone through a lot of iterations, but the current version uses Gitea, Drone, and a few Docker images I've built that do various types of sanitizations/transformations.
## A Confession
I'm not using quartz anymore. Oops. This series has been in the works for a long time and I ended up committing more firmly to Hugo than to Quartz in particular. For a few reasons I'd rather not do a bunch of renaming, I'm just going to preserve the name as-is. Apologies for any confusion.
