This is a post to see if I can work out how the frontmatter renders in this theme. I have included the following frontmatter

#!YAML 
---
layout: single
title:  "Test Post"
header:
 image: 
 teaser: "Unbecomming-0006-banner@0.5x-2.jpg"
date: 2025-08-01 10:00:00 +0000
categories: 
  - website
tags:
  - software
---

The items I am trying are specifying the date and time, including a header. I’ll try a teaser as well just for the sake of experimenting.

I also tried changing the date. I’ve changed the date back to 2025-08-29 and tried a different arrangement of image. Let’s see if that works at all.

Tools for a PhD

There are a number of tools I am using in my PhD, on the off chance sharing them is useful to future researchers. I have split up the different tools into the kinds of research activity I am using them for. Generally, I like to use open source tools wherever possible. Avoiding having files locked into a propriatry format is important for ensuring that future practitioners and researchers are able to access materials.

Ethics Documents

I have successfully received ethics approval for my PhD. To ensure participants can access the Participant Information Sheets easily and for posterity, I thought it would be a good idea to have them available on this site.

This is the first blog post on this site as a proof of concept. As the site gets more complex I am expecting that these posts will become a way of sharing materials from my PhD. I am also hoping that this will offer me a way of reflecting on the process of doing the PhD.
