Blog Canary

2 minutes

In 1895, John Scott Haldane proposed bringing warm-blooded animals, most commonly canaries, into mines to detect high levels of carbon monoxide [1] . This worked because they would become sick (and stop singing) before the miners did. Because of this, “Canary in a coal mine” is commonly used as an idiom for something which warns people of danger.

This blog post is (in a very convoluted sense) a canary for my website, as it exercises the elements which can be embedded in a blog post. If I broke something in the server side rendering it will be messed up here, like a canary in a coal mine.
