Adding a new Feast post from now on

1. Open data/feast.yml and add a new entry at the top of the list (newest first):

- title: Your New Post Title
  link: /post/your-post.html          # or an external URL (Etsy, AO3, MakerTube, etc.)
  date: 2026-07-29
  subtitle: An optional subtitle       # omit this line if there isn't one
  summary: A short description of the post.
  image: /post/your-image.webp         # omit if there's no image
  image_alt: Alt text for the image    # omit if there's no image
  tags:
    - Tag One
    - Tag Two

2. Commit and push. The workflow rebuilds the homepage and the feed, and deploys both automatically. If a post genuinely has no fixed date, use date_raw: "Winter 2024" instead of date: and that text will display as-is (it just won't get a pubDate in the RSS feed).
