Adding notes back to the blog

When I started using the new blog publishing system for all writing on the blog, I only setup blog posts and links. It occurred to me that perhaps one of the reasons I‘m finding it a bit difficult to get back into a good blogging rhythm was because I never setup notes.

Notes are another type of writing unit, not quite as big as a blog post, but more than a link. They are great for small thoughts, things you are pondering, but haven‘t really thought through. Maybe they will eventually turn into a blog post, but also maybe they won‘t. No pressure. Also no title, which is crucial. Sometimes when you have a thought that you want to write about, the hurdle of having to come up with a great title the perfectly describes your thought, is enough to for your initial enthusiasm to disappear into the ether.

That was the idea behind the blogging virtuous circle. Let‘s see if I can get that setup again. #

Just added a blueprint to the config and a template in the template folder and now let‘s see if this works... #

Appears to have worked, a PR was created, the real proof it‘s operational will be if it gets rendered in tonight‘s build. #
