Hello, world.

This is a placeholder post so the blog scaffolding renders end-to-end. Replace or delete it whenever you publish your first real one.

Writing a new post

Drop a .md or .mdx file in src/content/blog/. The filename becomes the URL slug. Required frontmatter:

---
title: "<em>Variable fonts</em> in production"
description: "One-line summary used for OG cards and meta tags."
date: 2026-05-12
readingMin: 6
tags: ["fonts", "frontend"]
crossPostUrl: "https://dev.to/thorjensen/variable-fonts-in-production-xxxx"
---

crossPostUrl is optional — set it once you cross-post to dev.to with their canonical_url field pointing back at this URL. That way Google ranks the canonical (here) and you still pull in dev.to traffic.

What renders

Markdown works as you’d expect, plus you can use HTML inline (e.g. an <em>italic Fraunces accent</em>) since the title field renders as HTML. Same in headings.
