Setting up this site took me far longer than I thought it would. I could probably have achieved the same look in pure HTML in a fraction of the time, but then if the site ever got large it would be a pain to maintain. I’m imagining this to be a bump in the difficulty curve to then have smoother sailing once I’ve become more familiar with the ins-and-outs of hugo.

All this for a place to document the progress of my shrimp, eh? It’s a fun side project nonetheless, even if my initial idea of having a constant livestream of the shrimp had to take a rest for the time being.

Having never touched Go before, adding a theme (in my case hello-friend-ng) made things a bit more steep in the beginning but I think the site can look the way I want it to. Even if the theme is more aimed for blogging, and I never really intended this to be a blog… archiving stuff, but making it public is pretty much a blog. I guess I do blogging now.
