+Added the journal feed in the link header of all pages so it can be auto-discovered.
+
+Pleasantly surprised to be digging into the [[IPFS]] `_redirects` [spec](https://specs.ipfs.tech/ipips/ipip-0002/). I guess I can just point to my old archive! `/archive/* https://2023.bmannconsulting.com/archive/* 301`
+
+Made a [[BMC]] page where some TO DO stuff will live.
+
+How many times have I ended up using this [Jekyll JSON Feed Template](https://github.com/georgemandis/jekyll-json-feeds)? Many times! The special treatment for link front matter has me thinking.
+
+Decided to not mess with feed format right now. It's working, let's use it for a bit, and see how various things look once they cross-post through Micro.blog to Mastodon. Where it's actually putting content on my under-used [@boris@toolsforthought.social](https://toolsforthought.social/@boris) account.
+
+Added a Journal layout template.
+* Removed LogSeq note site links
+* Added tag display from blog posts layout, which links to `/notes/tag` (but can't tell if it exists or not, so might 404)
+* Added [[via]] link to the sidebar
+* Used Link as the title if it exists
+
+And I guess this will be a test of what large journal cross-posts do!

+	- Maybe not? I think things are coming through OK
+	- I should consider linking back to the actual journal entry. Hmm, or maybe appending a hashtag like `BMCJournal` for context
+- [ ] Update front page to have recent journal entries. 
+- [ ] Display “via” frontmatter [[via]]
+- [ ] Turn off linking out to notes
+- [ ] Tags? Something like “if tag same as Note, then link” or “on Note, list all pages with same tag”. Even with a “blank” [[Wiki]] page, you get all the notes tagged with wiki displaying. 
+- [ ] Test run of re-importing LogSeq
+- [ ] Make a [[Colophon]] feed by looking at Journal entries tagged with `colophon`
+- [ ] Add a style for `<li>` that have Obsidian `task-list-marker` class
