A few weeks ago I slept in a tent on the cusp of Jordan's Rift Valley. [Wild Jordan](http://wildjordan.com/) has regular hiking and camping trips to the reserve and they are very affordable. The staff are friendly and genuinely care about nature conservation. Trips to this and other national parks are part of an impressive [government effort](http://www.rscn.org.jo/) to preserve Jordan's natural spaces.

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/camping-in-the-dana-biosphere-reserve/"]`

content/post: Add better categories/tags Now the theme supports categories/tags so I should think about the terms I use. 2016-09-26 07:55:00 +02:00			`categories = ["Nature"]`

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_0031.JPG"]`
