First Steps With Hugo Theme Tabula-Rasa

What is a Theme? If you’re coming from any other blogging plataform, theme is just another name for a template - but keep in mind that Hugo uses template to talk about templating functionalities. Now, that’s not very helpful if you know nothing about other blogging plataforms, so let me elaborate a little further. When you have a website, it’s very likely that many - if not most - of you pages will have the exactly same look’n’feel, but with different content (in this blog, for example, notice how all post look exactly the same, with only the text itself being specific for each post.

Setting up your own free blog

There are many things I find interesting about the way this blog is deployed: It is only static pages, so you don’t have to worry about huge frameworks, database management etc. Pages are written in Markdown language, so you have a clean and understandable text while writing. You can host it and many different places. I’m choosing the Github Pages, so both my website project and the website itself are under a version control system.

The start of something beautiful

I started this blog because I like to write. I need to write. And right now, things are placed perfectly to (re)start this little pet project: I want to interact more with Github, I’m learning Go, and I’ve just found out about Hugo and the idea of having an engine to generate static web-pages makes the whole point of having a blog more as a repository of ideas with minimum maintance is just too good to ignore.
