My New Site
Welcome to my new personal blog at aehnelt.net! I’m excited to share that I’ve built this site using Hugo, a static site generator that has truly impressed me with its speed, flexibility, and ease of use.
What is Hugo?
Hugo is a powerful open-source static site generator that converts plain text files into a fully functional website. Unlike traditional content management systems that rely on databases and server-side processing, Hugo creates static HTML files directly from your content. This approach offers several advantages in terms of performance and simplicity.
Why Hugo?
1. Speed and Performance
One of the standout features of Hugo is its incredible speed. It can generate thousands of pages in seconds, making the website extremely fast. This means my site loads quickly, providing a smooth experience for you, the visitor.
2. Flexibility and Customization
Hugo’s flexibility allows for extensive customization. With its templating system, I can design and structure the site exactly how I want it. From custom layouts to unique features, Hugo makes it all possible.
3. Markdown and Content Management
Hugo supports Markdown, a simple and efficient markup language for writing content. This means I can focus on creating content without worrying about HTML. Managing and organizing posts and pages is straightforward, making content creation a breeze.
4. Security
Since Hugo generates static files, there are fewer security risks compared to dynamic CMS platforms. There’s no database to compromise or server-side vulnerabilities to worry about, which helps keep the site secure.
5. Built-In Features
Hugo comes with many built-in features like taxonomies, pagination, and multilingual support. These tools make it easy to organize content and enhance the user experience on my blog.
Getting Started with Hugo
If you’re interested in Hugo, it’s easy to get started. The official Hugo documentation is a fantastic resource with detailed guides and tutorials to help you set up and customize your own site.
