Introduction

After working with Obsidian for a few days (previous video), I realized I needed to adjust a few default settings and plugins to better support my developing workflow. I’ll focus strictly on the technical configuration here, no personal methodology.

On this dinosaur’s journey back into Obsidian, I’m focusing on the technical, settings and configuration, not personal methodology. One thing that confused me the first time I tried Obsidian was that some tutorials emphasized workflow before I understood the technical basics.

After using Obsidian for a few days, I want to change a few things from the default experience. For example, increase the default font size so it’s easier to read and setting a default start page.

I also want to explore using the templates and daily notes plugins in conjunction to create a simple journal.

To keep this simple and consistent, I’m starting from a default vault in this video. I’m avoiding non-default starting configurations, because they can make the video harder to follow. This won’t cover any advanced setup, but it matches where I am right now.
