# TLDR;
I write these blogposts in markdown. My editor does not show images, because the paths in the site are different than in the filesystem. My editor is moldable, but I only mold if I need to. I don't want to turn into "I am using tech x to write my blog" and blog about nothing but the tech I use for blogging. Since I am [writing more posts](https://xkcd.com/741/), not being able to easily work with images was starting to get to the point where investing a bit of time in working with images better was worth it.
Originally I wanted to be able to drag images into my editor and get them in the right place for the blog. And then, by reading, I realised that correctly placed images for my blog were not showing when I was editing. So I fixed that first, following someone else's learning path.
Fixing this involved staring at the wall, and then realising that an example would be handy. And it was. Even without a unit test.
# How it began
Would I recommend Emacs as a writing environment? I don't know. It works for me, mostly thanks to org-roam. And after 5 years of _thou shalt not lose weeks of configuring Emacs_, I am occasionally making small tweaks. Would I recommend Emacs as a writing environment? I don't know.

Admittedly, these tweaks sometimes are things that _should just work out of the box (TM)_. For instance, I can drag and drop an image (on my mac, at least) in an org-mode file, and then I get to choose how the image should be linked to the document. And then I can see it.
