The [King Hussein mosque](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Hussein_Mosque) was built in 2005 and is the largest mosque in Jordan. I haven't visited it yet, but I've spent quite a few evenings admiring it from a balcony in the *Khalda* neighborhood of West Amman.

content/post: Add aliases to posts whose URL changed I changed the post URL structure to use the post's slug, so now I need to alias old post URLs to the new ones. 2016-10-05 11:48:35 +02:00			`aliases = ["/2016/09/king-hussein-mosque-at-night/"]`

Adjust images in post front matter My theme now uses a few of Hugo's internal metadata templates and the convention there is to look for an "images" array in front matter. 2016-10-15 05:13:54 +02:00			`images = ["/2016/09/DSC_0010.jpg"]`
