  This is the first post. 
    
  ## What this is 
    
  A blog that reads like an open text file. This paragraph is plain **Markdown** — 
  by default you're looking at the literal source, monospaced, exactly as it's 
  written in the repo. Flip the switch above to *Formatted* and the same text 
  renders normally: real headings, real emphasis, inline images and video. 
    
  ## Linkable headings 
    
  Every heading in the formatted view gets its own anchor — hover one and click 
  the faint `#` to copy a direct link straight to that section. 
    
  ### A nested example 
    
  Headings nest the way you'd expect, and permalinks are date-prefixed, so this 
  post lives at a URL built from its publish date. 
    
  ## Writing more posts 
    
  New posts are written at `/blog/edit`, and publishing commits the markdown file 
  straight to this repo — no local git required. 
    
  ## Sample photo 
    
  Images drop in with plain Markdown syntax and render inline in the Formatted 
  view, same as any other content: 
    
  ![A generated placeholder sunset, standing in for a real photo](/images/sample-photo.jpg) 
    
  This one's a placeholder checked into the repo under `public/`, just to show 
  the embed working. A real photo dropped into the editor at `/blog/edit` 
  instead uploads to Cloudflare R2 and gets inserted the same way automatically. 
  Video works too — an uploaded video file gets inserted as a `<video controls>` 
  tag, since plain Markdown has no video syntax of its own. 

This is the first post.

Flip the switch above to Formatted and the same text renders normally: real headings, real emphasis, inline images and video.

Linkable headings #

Every heading in the formatted view gets its own anchor — hover one and click the faint # to copy a direct link straight to that section.
