Recently I’ve been applying to internships for the summer, and while updating my CV I noticed a bright blue link inside it pointing to my website (tbh I forgot I even had one). I checked it and, to no one’s surprise, it was outdated. And I was bored of how it looked. So, I decided to change it completely, like any self-respecting programmer would do with some piece of code they wrote a year ago.
Now, I didn’t want to invest too much time into it, so I started looking for quick and easy solutions. I wanted something that would allow me to quickly add content without worrying about the design breaking. I also wanted to have different themes for different pages so I could have something professional-looking for the main page and something fun and colorful for games and projects. Quite picky, I know.
Then, I stumbled upon Hugo which caught my attention because it provided exactly what I was looking for: a wide selection of themes, and easy content management. Furthermore, I can easily write my posts in Markdown, and some themes even support KaTeX and MathJax, as well as comments through Disqus.
Anyway, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it even more; there are many options available that do similar things, and tbh this post is more about having the posts page not empty until I write something more interesting and to check if the website is working properly.
