Add tags to blog template

Like the index.html, blog.html needs to have its tags visible and clickable

Add metadata for Slack url unfurling

Modify blog template to add syndicated links

I'm starting to repost on dev.to and medium. I would like to keep track of those links somewhere on the canonical links. Probably near the top with the category and tags.

I only want the links visible on the blog post itself, and not in other views like the homepage or the list of all posts.

Add a category for popular posts

I would have gone ahead an added this, but I also want some visual indicator. Thus, this will need some change in the templates as well.

I'm not sure if I mean for these to be pinned on the frontpage or anything, but it would be great if they were highlighted somehow in the "all posts" list.

I think these posts will likely be manually tagged whenever I notice that a post is performing well in my analytics.

Adjust analytics tracking to report individual pages

The new analytics doesn't seem to do this very well, and I feel like it was something I overlooked in the upgrade.

Add search bar for recent posts

This is mostly for my use. I have been going into the "All posts" page and Ctrl-fing to find posts I've already written. Zola already creates an index for my site, so this should not be too much new work. I expect it to be modification to my templates.

Unified macro for images

It would be great to have a single method for posting images. But currently I'm using one way for posting raster graphics in a resized way and the markdown way to posting SVG.

I'll be ok having to distinguish raster vs vector, but I want to be able to keep images in one place if possible w/o bloating the final site. (Probably static/?)

Mouse-over anchor links

https://www.getzola.org/documentation/content/linking/#anchor-insertion

Section index page to add insert_anchor_links: https://github.com/tjtelan/tjtelan.github.io/blob/zola/content/blog/_index.md

When insert_anchor_links = "left" (or any other valid value that isn't none), the anchor link is always visible. The documentation link does say that it is basic, but this is too basic to use out of the box.

The zola site has something like this, but on mouseover the links appear to the left, and you need to quickly race over to click the link. We can override the default behavior with a template named anchor_link.html, however, there isn't a lot of existing documentation so I'm not sure what is easy to do.

The desired behavior I want is the headers themselves to either be the anchor links or otherwise something that doesn't take so much mouse dexterity to click.

Add shortcode for codeblock captions

Medium's formatting allows for captions on Github gist codeblocks, and it's nice and I want it too.
