First Post

When your site has more than a handful of pages, keeping markdown in separate files is much cleaner than embedding it in your build script:

• Version history — each page has its own edit trail
• Readability — markdown files render nicely in the Val Town editor
• Separation of concerns — content authors don't need to touch code

import { readFile } from "https://esm.town/v/std/utils/index.ts";

const md = await readFile("./content/blog/first-post.md", import.meta.url);

That's it — readFile returns the file contents as a UTF-8 string.
