OK, one more quick hack to the Journal feed.
12
+
13
+
Relative paths for images are a problem. Maybe they actually aren't for many modern feed readers. But they ARE if I want Micro.blog to crosspost correctly.
14
+
15
+
[Found this hack to use the Liquid `replace` filter](https://bdunagan.com/2021/10/29/jekyll-tip-absolute-urls-for-links-and-images-in-rss-feed/) to look for src tags and then add in the full path to your site.

+
I'll test it tomorrow by posting an image. Time for bed!

## To Do
8
8
9
-
- [ ] Journal feed modification to truncate and include link back to journal post. Will Microblog respect 500 characters?
9
+
- [ ] Journal feed modifications
10
10
- Maybe not? I think things are coming through OK
11
11
- I should consider linking back to the actual journal entry. Hmm, or maybe appending a hashtag like `BMCJournal` for context
12
12
- could also do tags-as-hashtags and append them
13
13
- Maybe: do something special if link exists
14
+
- Figure out how to make sure that full path image links are included
14
15
- [ ] Update front page to have recent journal entries.
15
16
- [x] Display “via” frontmatter [[via]]
16
17
- [x] Turn off linking out to notes
