Found a Tanner

November 16, 2018

I said yesterday that I was going to need more leather for this effort. Here's the good news: I found a tanner. This tanner's name is the amazing Gatsby plugin system. I know you were probably wondering: how is this basic starter blog doing so much cool stuff?

Although I'm a neophyte, the Gatsby plugin system feels very robust from the get-go. Here's a set of improvements that I've implemented, which I would recommend checking out for your own projects:

• Font themeing support with gatsby-plugin-typography
• Support for images in markdown from gatsby-remark-images
• Code blocks and syntax highlighting from gatsby-remark-prismjs
• Get them sweet emojis in play with gatsby-remark-emojis

I've changed my typography theme to Noriega.
