Images
A Better Way to Adding Images
At the time of writing, I knew nothing about how folks added images to their git pages, digital gardens etc. Trying to figure it out the way, I resorted to creating a flickr, pulling images from the web or my screenshots and uploading the link. I believe its in my Markdown Syntax page, but don't quote me.
The reason I didn't want to host on flickr is because: * limit on image storage * creating yet another account, thus increasing my digital footprint * pulling images from the web is annoying * i didn't like my personal mistakes living on the web
My friend taught me another way. In my currently structure I have a docs folder which contains the guts of my digital garden. To host my own images I need to go to my docs
folder and create the img
folder. To do that running the command within your path to docs
: mkdir img
. From that directory I can now store my images. But now that they have a place to live, I need to reference them so my mkdoc can pull the image to my ATW site.
When referencing any image in a post it should be ![ text?](IMAGE NAME.JPG)
.
I need to double check this command by trying it out. Will update with any bugs I find.
Test
Success!
