### 1. The first issue I encountered was getting the local site running. I was using a VM on Proxmox and tried accessing it:

- Via the VM IP + Port (e.g. `192.168.10.55:4000`) *did not work*
3637
- `localhost:4000` *did not work*
3738
- In the short term, **`http://127.0.0.1:4000`** worked. (But I did not think to try it for some time. I mistakingly thought localhost and 127.0.0.1 were the same, andthey are not. Seems easy now, but it took me a while before i realized. 😖 )

Once you get it up and running, I guess all these Tech guys just know things intuitively. But I did not. I did not know what the header meant, what all the codes were.

If you are using Chirpy, you need to figure out Tags and Categories. They will go in the heading syntax, in yaml format. I will paste mine here without the lines "-" so you can see how it looks.
