hugo

Some ideas I am currently having for theming my web sites!

I have just started the process of reducing the number of org files I maintain for my web site. I now have a greater understanding of how Hugo handles these files and I think can both simplify and make them more flexible. Hugo is my static site generator of choice and although it supports org files directly I prefer to generate to a markdown file as an intermediate step using a file by file evaluation of org-hugo-auto-export-mode.

Currently I am just displaying the title of my posts with no filtering. Now that I have developed a general format to help with some emacs Deft categorisation I have run into a little bit of a problem. For example a typical title format is the following: Linux ---> Hugo_Format_Title[tag@subtag-art] and the hugo rendered html of course displays this on a card list and on a single page. I would like to remove the Linux ---> part and the tag part to optimise the space taken up by the title.

I am currently polishing up my web page and I am now focussing on the little annoying formatting / alignment issues. One of these is involving a default shortcode called {< youtube >} (Note: I deliberately missed off second brace as I am writing this in org!) Anyways, I have the following markdown: {< youtube IDK-4lhQ-sE >} A gradual fading version of a portrait I did for my girlfriends parents. Using ArtRage and Infinite Painter on various drawing tablets which produces the following displayed html:

I am just playing around with writing some sort of “techy” blog, trying to focus on a couple of my favourite things in the world, namely linux and emacs, so I thought I would do the best productive thing in the world and just start to type. I have set up this blog in a certain way using a static web site generator called Hugo, but more on that later down the road.
