I like this approach. The only thing I would point out is that the
example heading "# My gemlog" should probably be "# <author>'s gemlog"
instead so aggregators get some kind of author information.

The exact time of posts is rarely relevant, so I think this makes
sense. If authors want to include a timestamp or written date
(e.g. Thursday 19 November 2020) I suppose they could put that in the
title section but it may turn out a bit messy.
