Started setting up the blog today. Wanted a place where I can write without worrying about algorithms or attention. Hugo + Cloudflare Pages seems like a clean setup after testing locally.

Main issues:

  • Hugo threw errors until I replaced the old paginate key.
  • PaperMod folder name mattered more than I expected.
  • Needed a minimal _index.md to keep the layout sane.
  • Push the repo and connect it to Cloudflare Pages.
  • Finalize the folder structure for logs, notes, and changelogs.
  • Decide how public I want these logs to be before flipping draft to false.

Next steps for myself:

  • I will be updating this regularly so that this will be fun

Good start overall. Keeping this draft hidden until the full pipeline is stable.
