Hello, world

This site is built with Astro, and every post is a plain markdown file in src/content/blog/. This first post doubles as a style test for everything markdown can render here.

Headings and text

Long-form text reads in a bookish serif. Bold, italic, and links all work as expected, and headings switch to a heavy sans that carries the structure.

Pull quotes get the editorial treatment — serif, italic, with a rule down the left side.

Code

Inline code like getCollection('blog') gets a subtle background. Fenced blocks are syntax-highlighted at build time with Shiki, and switch themes with dark mode:

import { getCollection } from 'astro:content';

const posts = await getCollection('blog', ({ data }) => !data.draft);
const latest = posts.sort((a, b) => b.data.date.valueOf() - a.data.date.valueOf())[0];

Lists and tables

Things agaves need:

• Sun, and plenty of it
• Sharp drainage
• Patience measured in years

Agave	Years to mature
Espadín	6–8
Tobalá	10–15
Tepeztate	25+

That’s the whole toolkit. New post = new .md file with a title and a date.
