Notes

Adding Published Writing

Keep each piece in its own Markdown note in this folder. Use the published title, date, author, and original URL so it remains traceable to the source.

Use [[Ladakh, a Log]] to link a piece from another note. Use [[Ladakh, a Log|the Ladakh piece]] when the sentence needs different wording.

Keep the full published article under “Full article”, preserving its wording, headings, links, and captions. Save images in Attachments/Substack and embed them with relative Markdown image links. Keep summaries and added commentary separate from the article.

Use “Connected ideas” to link to short idea notes. Give each idea note links back to the exact source passages using Obsidian block references. Add the idea to Ideas Index and the relevant topic index. Add links when the connection is useful; a piece can belong to more than one thread.

When adding a piece, link it from Writing Index and the relevant topic note, and link back from the piece. Keep existing note names stable so incoming links keep working.
