I’m just working through Ben’s very helpful Youtube tutorial - **How to Set Up Elements CMS: Part 1.**

During the course of the video (at 7:07), he uploaded some sample markdown files to work with while laying out the blog and setting up the CMS. In order that I (and maybe others) can follow along, would it be possible to post these markdown files and the project? This would be so helpful.

Remove the `type: remote` value from the markdown frontmatter, and link to the images in your resources folder.

**Original remote image:**

```auto
image:
  type: remote
  src: https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1543071293-d91175a68672?q=80&w=4917&auto=format&fit=crop&ixlib=rb-4.1.0&ixid=M3wxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8fA%3D%3D
  alt: 'Burj Khalifa: Touching the Sky'
  width: 1200
  height: 800

```

**Local Images:** I have the burj.jpg image in a “photos” folder in resources in Elements.

```auto
image:
  src: /photos/burj.jpg
  alt: 'Burj Khalifa: Touching the Sky'
  width: 1200
  height: 800

```

Hope that helps!
