+Notes
+-----
+
+In blog posts, which will be within the generated feed.xml, make sure to use absolute urls to adhere to RSS standards.
+
+In another vein of RSS standards, make sure to use RFC822 formatting for the date field within blog posts.
+
+Verso2 will probably break at some point, so be ready to fix it.

title: Introduction: My First Blog Post

Hi there! I wanted to quickly introduce this blog/feed/website.
-WIP.
+We're going to focus on software, technology, social issues, and other things
+the editor (myself) deems relevant.
+
+Some quick disclaimers:
+
+I am not a professional writer, so don't expect an form of regularity to be
+going on here.
+
+There is no complicated CMS, framework, or any similar thing backing this
+feed/site up. It's just a shoddy shell script I wrote, so if there is an
+erraneous post or weird formatting issues you're agreeing to that risk by not
+unsubscribing right now.
+
+If you ever want to respond to something I've said, please don't fail to
+[contact](https://chappelle.dev/contact/) me. I really wanted to implement a
+reading list instead of an RSS feed (I still might) since I believe they're a
+much better method of sharing information and discourse. However email is too
+much of a PITA and I didn't really want to spend my time getting that right.
+
+## In Conclusion
+
+I hope you get something out of what I have to say. Thanks for reading this far.
