# Welcome to my Digital Garden I rebooted my [[Obsidian]] vault on [[2025-12-24]]. The idea here was to start a fresh new vault with less complexity than I used to rely on. I'll gradually backport some of my notes from my old vault to this new one. The key difference here is that I'm using the [[Obsidian Publish]] service now to share many of my notes in the style of [[Learning in Public]]. You may find some or many of the links in these notes don't go anywhere. There could be a number of good reasons for that: 1. I've linked to a page that I haven't created yet. [[Orphan Pages]] can be a really powerful tool in Obsidian! 2. I've linked to a page that I haven't published. While this still makes enormous sense for my primary purpose of having a heavily backlinked set of notes, it will make less sense to those of you who can only see a subset. 3. I'm not using `tags` or `topics` front matter at this time. Back linking to an orphan page can help me to see in my graph view when I have quite a few notes linking to an orphan, and that it's time for me to do some curation.
