Spell checking

To enable spell checking in vim, use the command set spell. This will highlight misspelled words in your markdown files.

To enable spell checking:

:set spell
:set spelllang=en_us

Spelling suggestions can be accessed with z=. This will open a window with suggestions for the misspelled word.

If you want to add a word to your dictionary, use the command zg.

Or to manually add a word to your dictionary:

:spellgood YOUR_WORD

Line wrapping

Set your line width to 80 characters. This is a good width for readability and makes it easier to read your markdown files on different devices.

Step 0: Decide to blog

Not a technical step I know, but if you do not currently have writing material to post, perhaps draft some blog titles. Find some topics that you are passionate about, because that will fuel your motivation. It will also help guide the technical and design decisions you will make in will designing your blog.

This is the first post of Source to Sink. A blog where I will be sharing my thoughts on various topics such as open source projects, software development, LoFi music, HAM radio, 3D printing, homelab, Formula 1, Linux, internet culture, city life, and much more. Everything but the kitchen sink! (EBTKS)
