Welcome to Go Hugo
Welcome to my new Go Hugo project. My website is now made by GoHugo Static Website Engine.
The motto of Go Hugo is:
Make the Web Fun Again
which rings true for me. I had a wordpress site for many years now and the updates were always annoying and, if I was busy for a month, and neglect to update the site when there is a significant security issue and your site needed the new update then your website was liable to be hacked or injected with malware. I know I could have registered my site with wordpress.com, and they would perform the updates automatically. However, there was two issue and a weakness on my part.
Issue #1
It was slow to load because it is all generated by php and MySQL database. So, backing up is always a pain.
Issue #2
How do I know for sure that my site is not hacked or have malware. My hosting emails me warnings that I have potential malware. However, it is uncertain if a breach was made, and there is no way to identify a breach.
My Weakness
I found it difficult to modify wordpress and make it into my own individual site with my own customizations. I was afraid to modify it because of I did not want to open up new security issues.
However, with Go Hugo modifying the website was difficult, but I was able to understand the mechanics and underlying Go Hugo functionality much quicker and with better comprehension and ease than I was very able to do with wordpress.
Building and Deploying the site Simple
I used firebase to host my site; therefore, building and deploying is a snap! Within your blog directory, here’s the command line to deploy:
:~/blog$ hugo && firebase deploy
Conclusion
So now that I am on a static website I can worry less about security issues. Furthermore, the internet is designed to provide static content so my content should load faster than before.
