Btw anyone has any theme recommendations for #hugo? Ideally 1) something for professional use, and 2) something very, very, very basic.
Well-maintained and documented would be nice
Mainly for building a professional website, but I certainly don't mind migrating my own blog if it's easy to use enough
For 2... my current blog is handwritten html for context.
I've been working on building my own #Hugo static website for over a year. (Granted, it's the year I became a parent, and I've had a lot going on.) I want the satisfaction of a site I built by hand and understand intimately, but I'm also feeling the squeeze: I would like to have a website now, thank you—and I'm starting to reach the part of the project where I need to actually learn if I want to develop productively, instead of halfassedly copy-pasting things together and crossing my fingers.
Maybe this is my sign to turn to a simple off-the-shelf theme so I can get started and let the pressure off.
My website/blog has always had dedicated light and dark themes (thanks to using Tailwind from the ground up). It came to my realization, however, that the proper theme may not render by default based on people's OS preferences. That's why I added this small cosmetic touch that will hopefully help a bit.
I want to make my blog: https://preslav.me more Fediverse-friendly. I was thinking, adding some more options for interacting with readers, other than simply dumping my RSS feed onto my Mastodon profile.
My blog is a statically-generated Hugo site, hosted on Netlify. I am able to add some backend functionality via Netlify’s lambda functions.
Total shot in the dark here, but for any of you #SFWA or #Worldcon members out there, I'd really appreciate a #Nebula or #Hugo nomination for my debut novella DRECK. I can provide a copy upon request.
🎉 Migration from #Hugo Wowchemy Academic to #QuartoPub is complete! I am so so so happy with how much easier this is to maintain, and I am impressed at how versatile listings are. I could even replicate the Academic feature of listing the publications associated with each group member on their respective author's page! https://faculty.washington.edu/masiello/
I finally did my reorganisation of my blog content. I've been wanting a nicer way of storing my blog files, but didnt want old post links etc to be broken.
I wrote a post describing how that process worked for me :)
I did some reorganisation on my #hugo site today, and I thought I was being so clever using aliases, and.... the aliases are not working. I'm scratching my head for why, and am really quite confused.
so how DOES federating work with old content anyway (or does it just not)?
I set up @sirtaptap.com@sirtaptap.com which should be a feed of all my website's articles...but it seems to have posted all my existing content before I federated so it's empty on .social
@SirTapTap Ahh. Yes, that's normal. Every post is a post in that blog's “instance”.
You then can follow it. And when you publish a new post, you should see it.
For the URL, I can't remember much about it since that last time I used #WordPress was in 2020; I migrated to #Hugo / #GoHugo late 2020.
But what I can remember, the plugin at that time will create a new post with your WP “summary” as the post content, then a link to back to your website for the full article. Something like a summary-only Atom / RSS feed.
To find the #ActivityPub link, I right-click on the date/time of the post it created and figured out how it creates the URLs.
Thanks for recent comments about RSS feed! I am happy with it, so now I am playing with Mastodon API to post updates from #hugo RSS feed to https://adventurousbeastie.eu/@sleeplessbeastie account. I will share it later this week. 👍
Si je ne trouve pas mon bonheur, je risque de développer un outil custom en #Rust avec #Tera comme moteur de template. Mais ça me prendrait pas mal de temps.
I'm working on a new #hugo theme and while developing, I'm seeing this odd thing where changes to layouts/index.html is not triggering rebuild, so developing is hard.
anyone seen something like this before? layouts-wise I only have _defalt/[baseof, single, list, terms].html defined other than partials
I'm in a quandary. I had planned to use static sites for any future blogging activity - #Hugo, #Jekyll, or somesuch. Ditch #WordPress, reduce my attack surface.
However, WordPress now has the #ActivityPub plugin. This is appealing.
So, I'm looking for opinions and suggestions. Is the ActivityPub plugin worth sticking with WordPress? Are there alternatives?
I can't see how there could be a static website solution that would have #fediverse integration.
So its done! I finally released a fairly easy to install (from scratch) Hugo based Static Site generator with full ActivityPub support.
It has step-by-step instructions on how to set it up for your own blog or static website.
One of the coolest features for me, other than having your static site blog posts show up as posts in the Fediverse is the support for interacting with those posts. Any replies you leave, likes, or boosts will show up in the "comments" section of the website on the page associated with the post. How cool is that!
