How to Write a Blog

We can write our blogs using the Markdown framework. Markdown, similar to HTML, is a markup language.

Using # Makes Headers, Useful to Section Content

More ## Creates Subheadings

11ty allows us to link from these headings too

We can embed links, or we can also use regular HTML.

Regular <a> tag

Markdown linking

I can also link to another section of the page.

You can write code in code blocks, using ```

// this is a command
function myCommand() {
	let counter = 0;
	counter++;
}

// Test with a line break above this line.
console.log('Test');

Or you can write inline code like this

Running Locally

To run our blog for local testing:

1. Open terminal in VS Code
2. Type npm run start
3. Open the localhost link in your browser. It should look something like http://localhost:8080/
4. It will live update, so every time you press save on your blog post it will be uploaded!

Publishing to the Web

Now I am at the bottom!
