hugo

This site is created using Hugo. I evaluated several different static site generators) SSGs to find what I consider to be the best balance between ease of use, features and flexibility. There are too many to test them all, I just looked at the most common/popular ones that seemed to be well supported. None of them came anywhere close to being as easy to set up and configure as the blurb led me to expect.

I first began blogging many years ago with Google, but gave up and deleted my account when Google turned from “do no evil” to being very evil – by stealing my personal data. I vowed never to blog again until I could host the site myself. I realise this is not really going to stop data theft as all the greedy tech. corporations will still hoover it up as they attempt to feed their advertising algorithms and LLMs.
