# Updating my personal site with Hugo

20 April 2026

It has been a while since I’ve touched this website, and now that a few of my university assignments for the semester have been completed, I’ve had a bit of time to come back to it and make some changes! I’m going to have a long summer ahead of me and I’d like to document some things that I get up to, with this site being one of them!

First of all, whilst I love the appearance of this site, making changes to it, namely creating new content for it, is not very straight-forward. I had heard about this website framework called Hugo, which basically allows me to write pages (and blog posts like this!) as Markdown .md files, and Hugo will convert it to a static site.

Converting my site to use the Hugo framework took some time, but I managed to figure it out, and I’m very happy that I did. I was looking at options such as Ghost, which is a blogging platform, but I didn’t like the idea of having to completely remake my website in a completely new platform. For now, I’ll stick to this solution, which I am deploying with Cloudflare Pages. You can find the code for this site on my GitHub.

There will probably be more updates to this site as time goes on. I would love to implement a Vim-style “:” command prompt, additional colour schemes ,as well as learning some more JavaScript, but we’ll see!
