Adding Photos to the Pond Diary

The Newtopia site now supports image blocks inside Markdown content.

This means a pond diary entry can include photos between paragraphs instead of only using thumbnails on the index pages.

Sample newt image — replace this with a real photo later

The path starts from the website root, not from the Markdown file location.

So if you add a real photo here:

assets/images/photos/newts/newt-at-dusk.jpg

you can show it in a post like this:

You can use the same approach for pond edge photos, dragonflies, frogs, or anything else you photograph around the pond.
