Setting up my Blog with Hugo

July 4, 2024 | Reading Time: 4 min

Since I set up this site earlier this month I thought it would be nice to share my experience setting up this blog. Here’s how I did it using the Hugo static site generator framework. Why Hugo? I was on the lookout for a way to get a blog site up and running, which met my criteria: Simple post creation Simple hosting solution Minimal HTML/CSS/front end dev Easy to include additional static pages After some research, I found that using Hugo to generate content and hosting on github pages was the perfect fit.
