Hello from Must Love LLaMas

I already have a personal blog. That one can stay messy and wide. This one is for the posts I want to hand someone and say, start here.

The name is the obvious pun. Llamas, LLaMA, LLMs. I kept the doubled L so the model name is sitting inside the animal.

Why MDX

Most posts will still read like Markdown. Frontmatter, headings, code fences. The extra is that I can drop a photo or a small React component in the same file without a CMS.

A Markdown image works if the file is in public/images:

![The deploy graph after the first push](/images/example.png)

When I want a caption separate from the alt text, or a specific size:

<MdxImage
  src="/images/example.png"
  alt="Deploy graph"
  width={1400}
  height={900}
  caption="The deploy graph after the first push"
/>

That is the whole reason to bother with MDX. Photos and the occasional embed, without leaving the file.

How a post gets out

pnpm create
# edit the generated .mdx
pnpm publish
git push

Vercel builds from main. No admin UI.

What is next

A few posts I have been sitting on. This file is just the door being open.
