External Link Posts #

This blog supports posts that link to external resources rather than hosting content directly. This is useful for:

• Linking to articles you've published on other platforms
• Sharing resources from other sites that you find valuable
• Creating a curated list of external content

How to Create an External Link Post #

1. Create a normal markdown file in the appropriate directory (e.g., /posts/elixir/)
2. In the frontmatter, add an externalLink property with the URL
3. The post won't generate a page, but will appear in your blog listing with an external link icon

Example:

---
title: Introduction to Livebook for Elixir
description: An external resource explaining how to use Livebook for interactive Elixir development
date: 2025-06-23
tags:
  - elixir
  - tutorial
topic: Elixir
layout: layouts/post.njk
externalLink: https://livebook.dev/
---

External links are displayed with a small arrow (↗) to indicate they lead to an external site and will open in a new tab.
