- The software updates your blog preview automatically.
You can include images in your blog. Place your images in the folder named assets inside your project directory. You reference these images in your Markdown file using a simple command. Type an exclamation mark, square brackets for the description, and parentheses for the file path. This makes it easy to keep your blog visual and engaging.

You control how your blog looks. Access the settings menu from the main dashboard. You choose your site title, your name, and your color scheme here. Changes reflect immediately in the preview window. You do not need to restart the application to see your updates.
Do I need a server? No. This software generates static files. You choose where to host them after you finish writing.
Can I use this for other projects? Yes. Use it for personal journals, documentation, or company updates.
How do I backup my blog? Copy your project folder to an external hard drive or a cloud storage service. Your files stay safe there.
Does the software track my data? No. Your data stays on your computer at all times. The software does not send your files or personal information to any outside servers.
