I walk farther down the path of Hugo and Github Pages. So much fun.

Deeper Down the Rabbit Hole

As I worked on site content and structure, I switched to this theme for its design and overall quality. Reading the theme’s documentation gave me some additional lessons in the way Hugo creates the static output (Hugo’s lookup order). The relatively painless switch in themes gave me a greater appreciation for Hugo’s design. Hugo’s simple, precise behaviors allowed me to more comfortably predict the effects of my actions. The lookup order can be found in Hugo’s official documentation.

Comments with Hyvor Talk - Static Man next!

I’ve been using HyvorTalk for comments and reactions, as it was something I used in other projects. The documentation for hugo-future-imperfect-slim had a paragraph on staticman, an open-source comment solution for static sites. I hope to test the feature soon, as it looks quite promising. The sample site has a few posts that you can check to see how the staticman comment solutions looks on a page. It is quite beautiful. Do you use Staticman? Let me know in the comments. Maybe I can learn from you! Cheers.
