This all started when

... I saw this image on unsplash

let's see how this previews.

I'd like to add the image workflow to Alaskagold and I have an 11ty implementation over there but... It's kinda a big step, it feels. oh man - I'm thinking like yoga time for a break.

okay - The first image is of the Worthington Glacier in Thompson Pass. The second is of Mount Billy Mitchell around 45 Mile of the Richardson Highway . These are truly landmarks of my Alaska experience. I live in the late 90s. And I would like to use these images on the Alaska Gold site. But Alaska Gold is yet to become and 11T site... But I might be able to shoehorn it in. Codex sez: Yes, you can now use a simple shortcode:

On build, it downloads the image, caches it, appends the registry entry, and renders attribution. I also ran it for your image. It created:

• Registry key: snow-covered-mountains-above-a

• Cached file: src/images/unsplash/snow-covered-mountains-above-a-a-snow-covered-mountain-range-with-a-lake- below-RgXVWf0WgoU.jpg

• Registry entry in src/_data/images.yaml

  After import, use the shorter registry key:

  

I updated README.md with this workflow, adjusted the shortcode implementation so unknown IDs fall back to Unsplash for now, and fixed the new-post scaffold so placeholder shortcode examples do not execute during builds.
