A minimal, elegant markdown blog template for Val Town that works perfectly with build.moi.

• Minimalist design focused on content readability
• Dark mode support that adapts to system preferences
• Fully responsive for all devices
• No dependencies beyond the Val Town environment
• build.moi integration for showcasing your blog
• Markdown rendering with support for all standard features
• YAML frontmatter for metadata

This template consists of just two files:

1. main.tsx - The HTTP handler that renders your markdown content
2. moi.md - Your actual blog post content with frontmatter metadata

The main.tsx file loads your moi.md content, parses the frontmatter, and renders it as a beautifully styled blog post. It's designed to work perfectly with build.moi, which will display your blog as a post with a direct link to the live version.

To use this template:

1. Fork this project
2. Edit the moi.md file with your own content
3. That's it! Your blog is live

Your moi.md file should have YAML frontmatter at the top followed by your markdown content:

---
title: "Your Blog Post Title"
description: "A brief description of your post"
author: "Your Name"
date: "YYYY-MM-DD"
url: "Your live blog URL" 
imageUrl: "Cover image URL (2:3 ratio works best)"
tags: ["tag1", "tag2", "tag3"]
---

# Your blog content here

Write your blog post in markdown...

When your blog is viewed through build.moi:

1. In the Posts tab: Clicking on your blog will navigate directly to the live blog post
2. In the Code tab: Clicking will go to the source code

To ensure your blog appears in the Posts tab:

• Make sure you have a moi.md file at the root of your project
• Include the URL field in your frontmatter pointing to your live blog

You can customize the template by editing the main.tsx file:

• Modify the styling by changing the Tailwind CSS configuration
• Alter the layout by editing the BlogPost component
• Add new features like comments, analytics, etc.
