In using Hexo

• I have built a personal web blog site by using Hexo, and deployed configuration files to connected to Github page in a really simple way.
• I might write a blog to summarize how I did it soon...?
• In addition, I write blogs with Obsidian and Obsidian do powerfully support almost every thing.

Editing blog pages

• Create a directory in source/_posts/ as new category (if necessary)
• Create plain .md file as new post in a specific directory (e.g., source/_posts/Dev Note)
• Insert the template with Obsidian core plugin Insert template
  • Activate it in Settings -> Core plugins
  • Access to Settings -> Template
  • Refer the location and format of date
• Write anything you want to post...
