A few weeks ago I slept in a tent on the cusp of Jordan's Rift Valley. [Wild Jordan](https://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"]`

Move all content to page bundles This allows me to use Hugo's image resizing to create img srcsets where the client downloads an appropriate image depending on their screen size. I had to go back and find original photos for each of these posts because Hugo was resizing my already-optimized versions and they looked horrible. Unfortunately I couldn't find originals for these posts: - aqaba-dirty-disappointing - contemporary-arab-design-jrf-showroom - eid-mubarak-neighborhood-dumpster - no-noise-near-noisy-mosque - red-orange-yellow-rice-bab-al-yemen Hugo will fall back to looking in the static directory for these. 2020-12-04 21:55:28 +01:00			`images = ["DSC_0031.JPG"]`
