Should I be seeing images in the local development server viewing? I see them once they are on the web, but not in the preview in the local server. I don't know if I've got the images in correctly until I put the post up online.

Okay, I saw the problem this morning. Well documented, of course. Ran /.bssg.sh server and watched the output. There was a warning:

socat not found. Falling back to netcat (single-threaded).
[BSSG-Server|2026-03-17 10:54:38] This may cause issues with loading multiple resources (like images) simultaneously.
[BSSG-Server|2026-03-17 10:54:38] For a better experience, please install socat (e.g., 'sudo apt install socat' or 'brew install socat').

Did the recommended and sure enough I now have images on the local server. :-)
