Today we're going to start the [[⭐️ 21-Day Obsidian Publish Challenge]]. To make this happen, you'll have to bootstrap a little bit, so here are the exact steps I want you to take today: ## Part 1: Bootstrap 1. Download and install [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) 2. Set up an empty[^1] vault 3. Set up the publishing platform ([Obsidian Publish](https://obsidian.md/pricing) or other) 4. To reward yourself, buy a two-week supply of your favorite chocolate or anything else that's highly satisfying to you. ## Part 2: Publish the Homepage 1. Create your first note called "Homepage" 2. Write a short welcome message 3. Create placeholder-links for each upcoming note on the homepage. See [[⭐️ 21-Day Obsidian Publish Challenge]] for all notes you'll create. See my [[Welcome to my digital garden]] how this list should look. 4. Publish your homepage to Obsidian! 5. Cross off this exercise at [[⭐️ 21-Day Obsidian Publish Challenge#Week 1 Bootstrap]] 6. Reward yourself with a piece of chocolate, a glass of orange juice or anything else highly-satisfying to you! You can check out my [[Welcome to my digital garden]] for reference. [^1]: Starting with an empty vault is completely optional, but I feel like starting fresh just to see what happens.
