He basically keeps a journal / wiki online. I really want to emulate that. Might be able to do it using Obsidian Publish, but what does that mean for how I keep my vaults? - https://publish.obsidian.md/alexisrondeau/Welcome+to+my+digital+garden - https://joschua1.medium.com/getting-started-with-obsidian-publish-in-three-steps-9abf463e9dbc - https://medium.com/effie-write-mindmap-note/why-im-no-longer-using-obsidian-publish-5234f35f089e - https://stephango.com/vault - [GitHub - jackyzha0/quartz: 🌱 a fast, batteries-included static-site generator that transforms Markdown content into fully functional websites](https://github.com/jackyzha0/quartz) - https://deepakness.com/blog/publishing-from-obsidian-using-11ty/ I've done this with my professional profile site (stuartmaxwell.info) using GitHub Pages and this tutorial: [How to publish Obsidian notes with Quartz on GitHub Pages - Fork My Brain](https://notes.nicolevanderhoeven.com/How+to+publish+Obsidian+notes+with+Quartz+on+GitHub+Pages) It works very well; I might do the same for my larger vault, or I might just go with Obsidian Publish because it would be easier to sync and maintain. ## Structure I think I need to create a separate vault for publishing so that I don’t accidentally publish any personal notes. In theory, I could choose which notes not to publish, but Obsidian Publish will show unpublished notes in the graph view. This sucks, because I really like the idea of having everything in one vault. But I want to keep doing my daily notes and people notes. This page may have a solution for sharing notes between vaults: [Alternative solution to nesting synced vaults & sharing content across separate vaults - Share & showcase - Obsidian Forum](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/alternative-solution-to-nesting-synced-vaults-sharing-content-across-separate-vaults/74201) This doesn't work for me because my problem is that I want to publish public stuff only, and this would publish the whole main vault. I think what would work is to have completely separate public and private vaults, and to sync notes one way from public to private so that I could link to them in my private vault. Think about whether I want my Readwise document synced to public or private. ## Publishing mechanism I like the simplicity of Obsidian Publish, that I don’t have to set up a separate publishing workflow. Using Quartz is fine for my professional profile site since I don’t have to update it frequently, but I don’t want to have to run a terminal command every time I want to change it. I also don’t want to have to worry about maintaining updates for Quartz for my main site. GitHub pages (via Quartz) also has a 1GB site limit. Which should be fine except if I have a lot of images. I already have a vault size of 2.5 GB. Obsidian Publish will publish sites up to 4GB. (OTOH, Nicole van said Publish has been really slow.) Publish has limited support for community plugins (including Dataview), but there are workarounds. ## Location I think I’ve decided to publish to stumax.info. Then it’s a personal site, I can keep my blog at stumax.com and link to .info. I can reduce my micro.blog cost. ## Theming and more - [ITS Theme - SlRvb's Documentation - Obsidian Publish](https://publish.obsidian.md/slrvb-docs/ITS+Theme/ITS+Theme) - [Using Dataview on Obsidian Publish · joschua.io](https://joschua.io/posts/2023/09/01/obsidian-publish-dataview/) - [How to display YAML in Publish - Basement - Obsidian Forum](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/how-to-display-yaml-in-publish/23149) - [Show properties of a note in the published pages - Feature requests - Obsidian Forum](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/show-properties-of-a-note-in-the-published-pages/68164/29) - [📗Obsidian Publishのサイトにプロパティ(メタデータ)を表示したい - Minerva](https://minerva.mamansoft.net/📗Obsidian逆引きレシピ/📗Obsidian+Publishのサイトにプロパティ(メタデータ)を表示したい) - [Customize your site - Obsidian Help](https://help.obsidian.md/Obsidian+Publish/Customize+your+site) --- **Relates to**: [[Obsidian]], [[publishing]]
