What inspired this blog?
I’ve been a computer programmer for most of my life1. I’m a fan of Stack Overflow as a great place to ask questions about any problems I bump into while developing code. Recently I’ve been working on Google Apps Script and I noticed one name that often gave me good answers to my question was Tanaike; his page on Medium listed some other scripts that I thought were quite interesting. I liked the look of his about Tanaike web page which prompted me to look behind the scenes on that page. The page was generated by Hugo, and the Hugo theme being used appears to be Blackburn, created by Yoshiharu Yamashita. I had a play with the instructions on the Hugo quickstart page and I quite like how fast it is, even on my dated hardware. The missing detail about the layouts setup took me a little while to work around.
Hugo
It’s been a while since I did any blogging any so I thought I might try comething with Hugo. I found the link about using Hugo with Github Pages, and then another link about Hugo on Netlify. The idea of doing some blogging on free cloud space with a really simple (Oh no it’s not) interface inspired me to start on this blog.
