Hello, World

This is the first post on the blog. Everything below the second --- line is written in plain Markdown — headings, lists, code blocks, links, all of it.

A few things Markdown handles well

• Bold and italic text
• Bullet and numbered lists
• Inline code and fenced code blocks:

def hello():
    print("Hello, world")

• Links and images

Blockquotes for pulling out a quote or callout.

To publish a new post, drop a file in _posts/ named YYYY-MM-DD-title.md with front matter like the block at the top of this file, write the body in Markdown, and push. GitHub Pages builds and deploys it automatically.
