Question for #bloggers and #web type people: Is there a smoother, quicker way to blog on #hugo ? I am getting to know the platform, and I like it (but don't know much about alternatives, being a WordPress escapee). I have it set up as a #blog on one domain. It takes around 5 minutes to post a blog entry, not including the time taken to write the entry. I don't use github, which seems to place me firmly in the minority of Hugo users. I also don't host this from my local machine; I have it on Opalstack (my no-nonsense webhost). My workflow right now is this:
Navigate into my local wwww/content directoryCreate a .md file for the blog entryType the blog entryAdd any photos I might want to go with the entry, meaning resize & rename them, put them in the /images directory, and type the link in the blog entryPreview [optional, probably not necessary without images]: hugo server -D then over to my browser at localhost:1313 to make sure the post looks OK. Adjust, repeat as necessaryFire up FilezillaEnable the site (the presets for logging in and loading local & remote directories)Transfer everything from local to webhost (usually takes about 30s with "replace only if file is newer")Go see if it looks OK
Step 8 (second-to-last) should theoretically be much faster with rsync but I'm getting error messages from Opalstack's server with that. I think I need their help, so maybe just assume step 8 could be simplified to an rsync command.
Are there Linux packages/functions that simplify some of this? Should I just ditch Hugo and use something simpler if I'm only blogging? Is this pretty much what the future looks like for me?
