10
+ A paragraph with **bold text**, *italic emphasis*, ~~strikethrough~~, `inline code`, and [a link](https://example.com). This demonstrates body text rendering, line height, and font pairing.
11
+
12
+ ## Lists & Structure
13
+
14
+ - Unordered list item
15
+ - Nested item with more text to show indentation
16
+ - Another nested item
17
+ - Second top-level item
18
+
19
+ 1. Ordered list first item
20
+ 2. Second item with **bold** and *italic* mixed in
21
+ 3. Third item showing how numbers align
22
+
23
+ ## Block Elements
24
+
25
+ > A blockquote to demonstrate styling for quoted content. This shows how the theme handles left borders, background tints, and text contrast.

34
+ return `Hello, ${name}!`;

+ const users = ["Alice", "Bob", "Charlie"];
38
+ users.forEach(user => {
39
+ console.log(greet(user));
40
+ });
41
+ ```
42
+
43
+
44
+ | Syntax | Description | Example |
45
+ |-------------|---------------------------------|---------------|
46
+ | Header | Column title | `# Header` |
47
+ | Paragraph | Body text | Plain text |
48
+ | `inline` | Code within text | `` `code` `` |

50
+ ## Callouts (Admonitions)

56
+ {:.callout-tip}
57
+ > Tip callout
58
+ > Helpful advice or shortcut. Demonstrates accent colors and visual hierarchy.
59
+
60
+ {:.callout-warning}
61
+ > Warning callout
62
+ > Something requiring caution. Tests contrast and attention-grabbing styling.

+ # Drafts and Bulk Publishing
9
+
10
+ ## Using the `_drafts` Folder
11
+
12
+ Add a `_drafts` folder to your site root to store posts you are not ready to publish. Posts in this folder do not require a date in the filename and will not appear on your live site.
13
+
14
+ ## Filename Requirements
15
+
16
+ All posts in the `_posts` folder must follow this format:
17
+
18
+ ```
19
+ YYYY-MM-DD-post-title.md
20
+ ```
21
+
22
+ Files without a date prefix will be ignored by Jekyll and will not publish.
23
+
24
+ ## Publishing Drafts
25
+
26
+ When you are ready to publish drafts:
27
+
28
+ 1. Save all unfinished posts in `_drafts/` (no date needed)
29
+ 2. Run `add-dates.bat`
30
+ 3. The script will add today's date to each filename and move them to `_posts/`
31
+ 4. Build and upload your site
32
+
33
+ ## Quick Reference
34
+
35
+ | Folder | Filename Format | Publishes? |
36
+ |--------|-----------------|------------|
37
+ | `_drafts/` | `post-title.md` | No |
38
+ | `_posts/` | `YYYY-MM-DD-post-title.md` | Yes |

+ # 📱 Social Media Share Images
9
+
10
+ When you share a post on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, or LinkedIn, those platforms will now display a **preview image** instead of your avatar.
11
+
12
+ ## How It Works
13
+
14
+ The theme uses **Open Graph meta tags** to tell social media platforms which image to display when a link is shared.
15
+
16
+ ## Setup Steps
17
+
18
+ ### 1. Create a Default Share Image
19
+
20
+ Create a default image that will be used for all posts:
21
+
22
+ ```
23
+ assets/
24
+ └── images/
25
+ └── share-default.jpg ← Create this file
26
+ ```
27
+
28
+ **Recommended Size:** 1200 x 630 pixels
29
+
30
+ **Tips:**
31
+ - Use a branded image with your site name or logo
32
+ - Keep text minimal and readable at small sizes
33
+ - Use high contrast for better visibility
34
+
35
+ ### 2. Optional: Custom Image Per Post
36
+
37
+ You can specify a different share image for individual posts by adding an `image` field in the front matter:
38
+
39
+ ```markdown
40
+ ---
41
+ layout: post
42
+ title: "My Status Update"
43
+ date: 2024-01-15 14:30:00 -0500

+ # Adding Images to Posts

+

13
+
14
+ ```
15
+ assets/
16
+ └── images/

+ ├── photo1.jpg
18
+ └── screenshot.png
19
+ ```
20
+
21
+ ### 2. Reference in Your Post
