# Lake Report workflow

## Best structure for Dane to send drafts

Send one folder per post:

```text
001-mizumi-origin-story/
  draft.md
  mizumi-driveway.jpg
  mizumi-purchased.jpeg
  mizumi-breakdown.jpeg
  eva.jpeg
```

The markdown can use either of these image styles:

```markdown
![Caption text](mizumi-driveway.jpg)
```

or simple placeholders:

```text
[MIZUMI_IN_DRIVEWAY.jpg HERE]
```

Split will turn that into the Hugo-native structure below.

## Final Hugo structure

Each Lake Report entry should be a Hugo leaf bundle:

```text
content/blog/lake-report/001-mizumi-origin-story/
  index.md
  mizumi-driveway.jpg
  mizumi-purchased.jpeg
  mizumi-breakdown.jpeg
  eva.jpeg
```

Benefits:

- images stay next to the post they belong to
- markdown/HTML can use relative image paths
- posts can be moved or renamed without breaking global asset paths
- drafts are easy: set `draft: true` in `index.md`

## Front matter template

```yaml
---
title: "Lake Report 00X: Post Title"
date: 2026-04-24T23:47:00-04:00
draft: true
tags: ["Mizumi", "Nissan 300ZX", "Z31", "project car", "cars"]
categories: ["Lake Report", "Cars"]
summary: "One-sentence summary."
---
```

## Local preview

Use:

```bash
hugo server -D --bind 0.0.0.0 --baseURL http://split:1313 --port 1313
```

Draft posts will appear locally with `-D`, but will stay out of the production build until `draft: false`.
