Jekyll is the initially supported static site generator we want to target, especially when it is also hosted on GitHub Pages.

Along with the body of the post, Jekyll requires “front matter” — metadata at the top of text files. See https://jekyllrb.com/docs/frontmatter/

The server needs to accept a micropub formatted posted from microblog as per #1 and then create a Jekyll compatible markdown text file and push it to the Git repo.

The default front matter should look like this:

---
layout: post # use this as default for now; post is usually a default layout so should work out of the box
title: 
date: # publish date
categories:
tags:
micropub: true # this allows layout / theme / other logic to know this post came from microglue / is micropub compatible
---

The rest of the file should include the body of the content.

TO DO:

• Review micropub spec & microblog specific publishing interface to see what it pushes
• Get feedback on additional front matter entries
