Moving to Hugo!

Over the last few months, I have been playing around with moving my website from Wordpress where it has lived in one form or another since around 2004. When I first installed it, I believe I was really just looking for some software to run on my newly hacked together LAMP server; I never imagined I would use it for so long.

Testing

A plain quote — stays blue, no label.

Note

Blue, with a “Note” label and info icon.

Warning

Amber.

Caution

Red.

Interesting!

The xfrm interface has to exist before strongSwan can bind the tunnel to it — which is the kind of ordering detail that costs you an afternoon.

Tip

Talk to your computers like this “beep boop beep beep”

Important

Vote in your local elections

IDK this is just something

Network processor NP7 - Fortinet’s breakthrough SPU NP7 works in line with FortiOS functions to deliver:

Having used Wordpress for so long, I have gotten extremely familiar with what I liked, but also what I disliked. To summarize,

My reasons for changing are myriad, but a few of the main draws include:

• A static site is much easier to work with, and less to worry about

• When I would write something in Wordpress, I would spend more time tweaking the rest of the site to comply.

• I want a longer-term project to spend my time on, and re-designing my web prescence seemed like a good start.

• I was bored, and wanted to try something new.

With all that in mind, the start of the New Year seemed as good a time as any to launch it, and here we are.

Even with those grandest of intentions, it was not without some growing pains. Moving from a dynamic CMS to a static site generator like Hugo is a pretty large undertaking, and even though I feel like I have a fairly good start, there’s a lot of work remaining.

That said, I’m working on bringing some of the my favorite posts from my old iterations of this site over, and will hopefully get a good method down.

Code blocks

# a long line to test horizontal scroll behavior inside the code box
ip link add xfrm0 type xfrm dev eth0 if_id 42 && ip link set xfrm0 up && echo "tunnel bound"

params:
  ShowWordCount: true
  editPost:
    URL: "https://github.com/<repo>/content"

plain fenced block with no language — should show no label but still copy

Tables

Heading level two (accent + left bar)

Heading level three (accent, no bar)

Heading level four (should NOT be accent-colored)

Footnotes

A sentence with a footnote¹ and another².

Code and other stuff

Some prose with inline code, a link, bold, and italic.
