@manton Will the Photos pages or API calls be returning more than the first photo? Or am I missing something?

@manton (sorry, should specify) the first photo from a post. I'd love it if my Photos page could show all of my photos.

@zachphillips Thanks for the feedback. The API (and Hugo themes) do support including multiple photos, but the built-in Photos page just shows the first one. I'd like to add an option for that.

@manton Oh cool, thanks. For some reason we couldn't figure out how to get them all with the API. We will look again. Do you know anyone who has successfully done it? Sorry if this is too big a question.

@manton Regarding the backup to Github: Will that be sending the entire Hugo site to Github so that I can use that repo as a playground for customizing my theme/trying to make photo pages behave a certain way, etc.? Sorry for all the questions.

@zachphillips No, it used to work that way but we ran into some problems so I simplified it to be more of a backup, not for serving directly from GitHub.

@manton Got it. So to know how your theme will behave with your actual site, is there a best practice? Is there a way to just download the posts as Markdown to be able to load them in the custom theme? I guess I'm just wondering how other people are doing this.

@zachphillips No Markdown export yet but it’s bumping up in the priority list. Best way right now is to create a test hosted blog which is free. There’s a button to create a test blog on the Edit Themes page.
