It is said that shoemakers are the most poorly shod. It’s very true.

My own web site, 30th years running so far (mainly doing the sleeping beauty since 2003) got a fully major revamp (mobile and computer) and I could use my Hugo skills for myself, for one.

Again thanks to Bep and all the contributors. Such a great tool.

I’ve had a blog/site up for 12 years (changed domains a couple of times), and have been using Hugo for the last few, making my own layouts for it. But you put my streak to shame a bit. lol

I agree. Hugo has been good to me so far.

I even made two aliases for it in my dotfiles:

```bash
alias hs="hugo server --disableFastRender -D && rm -r public" # Runs hugo server with disable fastrender and drafts enabled, then removes publid dir after Ctrl-C'd out
alias us="./uploadsite.sh" # runs my upload site script for the site I'm actively in, typically runs hugo and then uploads it via rsync, using ssh key auth to verify it's from my computer/user account.

```

Sorry Bep. This is a mistake this search should not get any reference for AC/DC (or Inxs either).

Those bands/artists on divinerites are the gems of all gems. Truly rock.

And yes bold look. It was sleeping for more than 20 years. But when it wakes up they want to not be confused with polite web sites.

I should make a deal with ophtalmologists tho

Anyway it was a lot of fun to make it really interactive thanks to Hugo.

Keep up the good work on
