Based on Quartz documentation, all content for the site needs to reside in the content folder of the site. Since The Terrace acts as a public portion of my overall Obsidian vault, I go through a process of taking authored content and migrating it over to be published
- Write authored content in personal vault
- Store content in folder called
Terrace - Copy contents of Terrace over to
contentfolder. - Open folder in Obsidian and fix/remove links that do not work in this vault.
- Publish
I think this generally goes against common convention. However I find I’m conflicted between having a unified, single vault that stores very private items and having some portion of that also be available for public viewing.
Written Public Content vs General Notes
Another challenge I have is that my personal vault is written much more atomically than anything written for public consumption. Atomic notes allow for a much more connectivity between ideas generating various forms of context stemming from a single notion. Public consumption makes that harder to convey without presenting the entire vault to the public. Additionally, writing with a public facing lens in mind is a helpful practice that allows for meaning to be more easily shared.
So in general, I guess i accept that there will be some friction in this process to ensure some level of privacy and the ability to curate content to some degree.
