How do I specify a custom date for a post, or set the canonical URL?
You can change the date that appears on your post, or set a canonical URL if you're importing a post from another location (such as Medium).
Use the following metadata structure at the beginning of your note:
---
created_at: 2017-11-20 17:08:05
canonical: https://mysite.com/blog/1/post-im-importing
---

| desc | Custom meta description for this post, used by search engines. |
| hidden | Whether the post should be hidden from your author profile (but still accessible via URL). |
| image_url | The image used by social media sites in their link preview cards. |
| metatype | One of [css, html, json]. Used to create custom themes. |
| page | true/false. Used to create dedicated links in your author header. |

| page_sort | A number. The lower the number, the earlier the page link will appear in your author header. |
