Where do frontmatter images go?

[jfmatth]

I've tried putting my posts' images in the same folder as the post, like the exampleSite, but they don't show when running the hugo server?

Tried in the contents, still didn't work.

Am I missing something?

Can you post your folder structure here?

[CaiJimmy]

Inside slv folder, is the Markdown file named as index.md?

[jfmatth]

AH HA, is that the reason?

I named it just some random name, ill check your other examples, didn't think that was the case.

[jfmatth]

yup, I see they are named like that.

Wasn't able to understand that from the docs, just mentions image: as a field for the post's image.

is there a way to do it w/o index.md?

[CaiJimmy]

I'm not sure if there is another way. I think that's how the Page Bundle feature on Hugo works.

[jfmatth]

Yes, that's correct, I just don't do Hugo that much.

Thanks for the quick responses and the project, it's very cool.
