Choose the publishing method that matches your skill level.
Publishing
This blog system offers three publishing methods for people with different technical backgrounds. Pick the one that fits you best.
Quick Comparison
| Method | Best for | Analogy | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dashboard writing | No coding experience | Like using WordPress or Medium | ⭐ |
| Obsidian + Git | Some basic tech skills | Like writing in Word then uploading | ⭐⭐ |
| API automation | Developers | Like building an automated pipeline | ⭐⭐⭐ |
Path 1: Dashboard Writing (Zero Code)
Write articles in your browser, just like any blogging platform.
Log into your blog's admin panel, write your post with a visual editor, add images, and hit publish. What you see is what you get. No technical knowledge required.
Choose this if:
- You just want to focus on writing content
- You're comfortable working in a browser
- You don't want to touch any code or command line
This is the simplest way to get started. You can be publishing within minutes.
Path 2: Obsidian + Git (For Note-Taking Enthusiasts)
Write on your own computer, then sync to your website.
Use Obsidian (a popular local note-taking app) to write articles on your computer, then sync them to your website using Git (a version control tool — think of it as a "time machine for files").
Choose this if:
- You prefer writing locally, without needing internet
- You already use Obsidian for your knowledge base
- You want your articles saved as files on your own computer
There's a small learning curve, but the benefit is that your content always stays in your hands. See the Obsidian workflow guide for details.
Path 3: API Automation (For Developers)
Build an automated pipeline that publishes content for you.
Use the API (Application Programming Interface) to automate your publishing workflow. For example: auto-sync from Notion, bulk import from other systems, or set up scheduled publishing with a script.
Choose this if:
- You can code, or your team has a developer
- You want to connect your publishing workflow with other tools
- You need bulk operations or scheduled publishing
This is the most flexible method, but requires programming knowledge. Great for handing off to a technical teammate.
Not Sure Which to Pick?
Start with dashboard writing. Once you're familiar with the blog system, you can upgrade to other methods as needed. All three methods can be mixed and matched — they don't conflict.
