if you look at it in chrome inspector that first line has a link to one of the 10-18-19 KISS articles. I can’t tell which one, but something about one of those is causing it I think.

Also, the way you are doing the posts is not correct - the post should just be the article content - you have an entire web page including the head. That part is being handled by the layouts so you don’t need any of that in the post.

the issue is resolved by removing `:` in title of front matter. 😇
