I tried many modules this weekend. Note that different themes have different words and key/vals in the above stanza so I better not confuse them. For instance, this page has a featured_image which only works with Ananke, and a image which probably works with other themes. What I’ve tried so far: Symlinking across all pages. so far only tried one - definitely golang won’t notice the changed symlinked file. Notice that STACK is currently in a DIFFEERENT place.
