I find it much easier to add css later than to work with someone elses, so I’m trying to build my own blog.

I’m trying to make my own hugo theme based off the information in this post [https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/solved-how-to-create-a-one-page-site/14228/7?u=hugomike](https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/solved-how-to-create-a-one-page-site/14228/7)

That post tells you how to set up a theme with pages. However, it doesn’t provide the code/html needed to blog.

Can anyone explain how to add

- blog posts
- a page with list of all blog post titles

This is the code that I have so far [GitHub - MikeMitchellWebDev/hugo-blog](https://github.com/MikeMitchellWebDev/hugo-blog) which is basically just copied from that post linked to above.

Thank you. It’s much easier with that.
