My Hugo Timeline, A New Hugo Module

What follows is an excerpt from this blog’s README.md file.

I’ve successfully added the code to drive a new /timeline page as part of this blog, but I did so “locally”, and now I’d like to repeat the process but using the aforementioned SummittDweller/hugo-timeline module.

I used guidance found in Hugo Modules: Getting Started to make this happen, like so:
