Every site should have an About page. (Shouldn’t have to be about me ’though).
From my Mastodon profile: I’m just me (and I am getting pretty good at it). Husband, father, project manager, Dutch, reader, walker, tinkerer with linux/virtualisation/bsd. In no particular order.
Moving away from Wordpress to Hugo. Why? Because I can :-)
Wordpress has been working great for the last 8 or so years but now I want to get more into the system so I decided to teach myself to use one of the static site generators. Hugo made sense because of the import possibility from Wordpress and enough templates and good documentation to get me going.
It also allows me to work on the site (break it and then fix it again) on my laptop before generating it and copying the static site to wherever I want it. Try that with Wordpress (and not a lot of Wordpress experience). Any system that can run a recent webserver is sufficient.
