Meridian

== Description ==

Travel blogs are frequently read by people who are travelling, on hotel wifi and expensive roaming. Meridian defaults to aggressive image sizing, ships no webfont, and keeps the initial render under 60KB including the first photograph.

Places are a hierarchical taxonomy — continent, country, region — so an archive of everything written about northern Portugal exists without anyone tagging for it.

A route summary block sits at the top of a long post: distance, duration, and the places passed through, each linked. It is the part readers screenshot, so it is the part that is real text.

== Installation ==

• Install and activate the theme.
• Build your place hierarchy under Posts → Places.
• Add a Route block to the top of long posts.

Maps are opt-in per post and load on click. The route summary works without one.

== Frequently asked questions ==

Does it import GPX?

The route block accepts a GPX file for distance and elevation. Rendering the track needs a map, which is optional.

Currency and units?

Both per-post, so a post about Japan can use yen and kilometres while one about Texas uses dollars and miles.
