OK, I was able to get the site up and running on Netlify! There was a little bit of fiddling, but it seems to work now. I don’t have it on a real domain yet, and I’m not sure about costs, but it’s a start. I’ll see if it auto updates when I save this. Other options are: Vercel Firebase AWS GitHub Pages Cloudflare Pages Any VPS Edit: I was wondering why the deployment was broken, but then I realized I had the draft status set to true in the post’s frontmatter, which means it wouldn’t be included in the production site’s pages.

Thinking about Hosting Seems it’d be easy enough to upload to a VPS via rsync, scp/sftp, or even Git, but is there something even easier? Something that would automate stuff? I’m sure there’s always a tradeoff, like lockin or dependency on a corporate overlord.

Hello Again! Hi, this is my third post. It’s fun. I wonder if I should try and upload this somwhere just to see how it goes. Let’s see!

Second Post Building some content to test out Hugo. Fun! One issue is that the preview puts the title on one line and doesn’t distingush it with bold text or anything. Maybe there’s a way to customize that?

Introduction This is bold text, and this is emphasized text. We are adding content in markdown format, which is cool. Thanks, John! You’re one Daring Fireball, my friend. It’d be cool to meet you in person one day. I wonder where I’d host this if I wanted to try it out. I could, of course, use a VPS, but maybe there’s an easier, free way? With a static site generator, there’s not much chance of lock-in to a particular hosting vendor like there would be for dynamic content.
