I wanted to get to know Gatsby better, so, I originally started this blog as an attempt to learn Gatsby while also creating a place for me to upload my hiking photos and trip descriptions. I init this project, and then left it alone for a year. When I circled back, everything about my Gatsby dependencies had changed, so I opted to use my recently acquired knowledge of react-static for this project instead.

My goal is to reproduce similar styles to what I had when I was using LekoArts's Emma Theme, but with way less tooling so it plays nicely with gh-pages.

See the live version here.

Every new post lives within its own folder in content/hikes, and needs the following:

• The folder name to reflect the hike date and a key word in reference (YYYY-ShortDescrip)
• A cover.jpg/png img to show on the home screen
• Any other imgs to reference in the blog post
• An index.mdx containing all necessary blog post data (below)

---
title: '
cover: './cover.jpg'
slug: ''
date: 'YYYY-MM-DD'
location: '<LOCATION> National/State Park'
