Hello Blog!
Mar 4, 2018-2 min read
Well, I finally found the time time to ditch my old WordPress blog and replace it with this shiny-new
static blog generated with Hugo.
I personally chose not to use any of the kick-ass themes available, but I decided to port my TheBestMotherfucking.website theme to
Hugo instead. I obviously found a good name for it: The Best Motherfucking Blog Theme.
Improvements
Thanks to the switch from Wordpress to Hugo, there have been a lot of improvements, namely:
- I can now write my blog posts in Markdown (huge improvement!)
- The website is now static, can be cached and has little to no impact on the server resources
- The pages are minimal, only the necessary content is loaded
- There is no risk of hacking, since there is no backend
- I can update the website with a git push
- Anybody can contribute to the blog or the theme
- I can now write footnotes 1 with ease!
It is still a work in progress though, but it seems to be quite minimal and functional.
Code Highlighting
What I find pretty handy about hugo is that the code can be automatically highlighted, for example, if I wanted to add a CSS snippet here is how it would appear:
a.site-title, a.site-title:visited{
color: @titleColor;
text-decoration: none;
}
img{
max-width: 100%;
}
Pretty nice huh?
