I don’t see where the image of the Gargoyle is being called. If I simply want to replace that, how do I do it?

@dangelovich - A default image is being set for $featured_image by this part: | default "images/gohugo-default-sample-hero-image.jpg" Try removing that part if you are happy modifying the theme. Or, if you want to preserve the theme, create your own corresponding partial in your layouts folder an…

Which theme are you using? What Gargoyles?

You are using Anake theme. The Gargoyle image is in themes\gohugo-theme-ananke\static\images. You can also use the theme instructions on changing the background here: https://github.com/budparr/gohugo-theme-ananke#change-the-hero-background In short, remove featured_image from your config file.

I appreciate your help! Could you be more specific? For instance, if I had an image called hugo-noob.jpg, where would I put it and how would I get it into that slot?

The /static folder in your project, merges in to / in your site, so /static/css for instance would be https://mysite.com/css.

Should my index go in /content/_index.md or in /static/index.html then?

Hugo generates index.html and other pages from templates and content files in your project, when you run the hugo command. The static folder is for things like your shared images, css files, javascript files, or maybe things like downloadable PDFs etc.

I find that even when I don’t define the featured_image, its there on the front page. How would I go about removing it from there? The code in site-header.html ( https://github.com/budparr/gohugo-theme-ananke/blob/7b5196ad18b65ead0ec3157d28aaf3a0b02b0a30/layouts/partials/site-header.html ) has: {{ …

Following this tutorial the top image is a Gargoyle above Paris. I’d like to replace that image. That would be a nice intro to styling.
