Setting Up Obsidian for This Blog

Before writing anything else here, I spent an evening getting my note vault configured the way I want it. A few things I landed on:

  • Turned on automatic link updates, so moving a file around doesn’t quietly break every attachment reference pointing at it.
  • Kept the vault flat where I could — one posts/ folder, one assets/ folder — rather than letting folders multiply per topic.
  • Decided against wikilinks for attachments in favor of plain relative markdown links, since those are the ones that stay readable outside Obsidian too.

None of this is complicated, but writing it down once means I don’t have to re-decide it every time I open the vault.
