Posts

Okay, they’re not totally useless but they might as well be. I opted to use a shell script in a mise task to manually create the file with the information I needed. Specifically, what I figured was an obvious thing was to run the command something like, hugo new content/posts/1767247204-sample.md --tile "Sample Post" --date "2026-01-01 00:00:04", otherise Hugo will insert a titlized version of the filename and the current date for the new post.

Really, this turned out to be a huge pain in the ass both in development and with deployment. ...

Sometimes I like to wipe my Macbook and start over but I forget some little things that make starting over frustrating. I am not going to give full detail instructions on how I install it. I usually just follow the steps from the project site. I will only include nuances that I may do different or in addition to the normal steps. ...
