Check-In

I'm doin' alright. A bit tired, and today was mostly running errands and then napping, but decide to check out mdBook to host my blog (and maybe getting into world building more and hosting those too) and boy am I glad I did!

mdBook

Seems super simple on first blush, I got it from zero to serve in like two steps, and it just accepted the random md file I threw at it after adding the appropriate line to the SUMMARY.md file.

• Has its own documentation built using mdBook
• The Rust Programming Language uses mdBook
• Written in Rust
• By far the easiest SSG I've used, bar none. Up and running in minutes, easily adding pages, default theme that doesn't hurt my eyes (actually multiple themes, Auto is checked automatically and uses system theme preference!!!!)
• I think I'm actually just going to publish it?
• Holy it's updating AS I'M WRITING THE POST BECAUSE I LINKED THE FOLDER WHERE MY POSTS ARE STORED THIS IS FANTASTIC! 😮
• Easily accepted my folder structure
• it's a little weird 'cause
• oh it fixed itself while I wasn't looking Used to be September was under August as a sub-chapter but it's not anymore Anyway I'm going to bed now, hopefully more tomorrow! First I'mm'a build and publish tho THEN bed holy shirt batman it just worked that's amazing okay bedtime though goodnight! 😴
