Hugo

To get this site put together, I purchased a domain through google domains, and have it hosted on netlify.

I’m using the theme Smol as it’s very lightweight and clean looking.

In addition, I’m using some shortcodes and archetypes from Laura Kalbag’s Site

Finally, I had to specify the “publishResources” setting under the “_build:” front matter. Documented here. I also added it to the above archetype for convenience. This prevents resources under content, that don’t have permalink or RelPermalinks defined from being served.

The motivation was so that I could include original images in the folder, and then pre-render different sizes for best display, without having the orignal accessible online. Part of the image processing flow is the stripping of EXIF data, which is not applied to orginal images.

After adding a page with many images, I did have to adjust the build timeout, due to the load on netlify’s servers. It still builds quickly on my local machine.
