Blogs

A style guide for writing here

How posts on this blog are written and formatted — headings, lists, quotes, code and images, all in plain Markdown.

Every post on this blog is written in Markdown in the Kominsiare CMS. This one doubles as a reference for everything the format supports.

Voice

Write the way you’d explain something to a smart friend. Short sentences. Concrete examples. No jargon you wouldn’t say out loud.

Headings

Use ## for sections and ### for sub-sections. The post title is already the page’s only top-level heading.

Emphasis and links

Use bold for the one phrase a skimmer must not miss, italics for tone, and descriptive links rather than “click here”.

Lists

  1. Write the draft
  2. Read it out loud
  3. Cut a third

Quotes

Say the thing plainly, then stop.

Code

Inline code for names and short snippets, fenced blocks for anything longer:

const post = { title: 'Hello', category: 'blog' };

Images

Use Insert image in the editor. It uploads the picture, resizes it for the web and adds ![Alt text](…) where your cursor is. Replace “Alt text” with a description of what the image shows.


That’s it. When in doubt, keep it simple.

The magic of design lies in its details

The difference between good and great is rarely the big idea. It’s the hundred small decisions nobody notices — until they’re missing.
