My personal site.
- Not a pain to update. I know myself and when sites are a pain to update, I don't update them. Make the site as simple to update as possible to prevent human laziness.
- As fast as possible. No one likes slow sites and I take pride in small, fast sites.
- Static with no javascript required. This is a small one that's not a deal breaker but for a personal site, I do enjoy not requiring javascript.
- Generate a RSS feed link
- The ability to generate static pages. Some personal site building tools are made to only create blog posts but I want to be able to create /about as well as /blog/*
- A menu on the site so I can link to certain things I care about: an about me page, github repo, etc.
- On mobile, I prefer not to have a hamburger icon for navigation.
- Way to tag blog posts. That way I can easily list out all of my gardening blog posts, for example.
- Install hugo CLI.
hugo serve -Dfor development server
git submodule update --remote --merge
Check the branch that the submodule (theme) is set to pull from:
cat .gitmodules
Change the branch the submodule is pulling:
git submodule set-branch --branch <branch-name> themes/DigitalGarden
