I wanted to flesh out one of my other sites. Add some more pages to add context to things on it. With the site being a hand written HTML file, adding more pages would be a slight pain. Nothing crazy, that’s how I did FartMail.me. But that’s a joke site, this site needs future maintainability, and a hand written site would be a much bigger pain down the line. So I converted it to Hugo.
2AM Hugo
Firing up some eurobeat, I got to work. I thought this was going to be a real pain, while it was work, it wasn’t that bad. I tend to think Hugo is a massive pain, probably because my main site has a number of “fancy” Hugo functions that I’ve written.
Working on the conversion made me realize how much I’ve slow burned learned Hugo from working on this site.
404 - Bird Not Found
While doing the site conversion, and adding more pages, I took the time to make a 404 page.
I feel like a good 404 page needs an odd photo. This site has one, same with FartMail, so I needed one for the site I was working on.
I ended up going with a picture of a crow that I took. Sure that site is meant to be more professional, but is it a 404 pages if it isn’t a little odd?
