Today I’ve taken it upon myself to create a new blog that I can use to show my proficiency in technologies as well as be able to say that I have a blog!

I’ve decided to use Hugo as the Static Site Generator because:

1. It’s written in Go (A language I’d like to start learning)
2. It appears to be one of the more popular static site generators

I previously tried going down this road with Pelican, which uses Python as the language to power it. But I found it rather clunky to get started with and lacking any themes that I liked. I will leave the old depreciated code up in my personal repo here: https://gitlab.com/retsnom513/retsnom513.gitlab.io. I will also be open-sourcing this blog as well, so the source code can be found here: https://gitlab.com/connorgrout/my-personal-site.
