Get something live
Trying not to loose focus in the run up to Christmas, so today I set myself a simple goal – get something live on practicalhugo.com by the end of the day.
More of a thing
I designed a simple color palette and logo mark to bring this course to life.
Practical Hugo
Clarifying things, picking a domain name and moving the course I’m working on to it’s own home on the web.
Course utility
I spent the morning thinking about how best to structure this course. To get the ball rolling a had a poke around in some of the courses I’ve taken recently.
Related updates
Course related updates now automatically display on my Hugo course page. It took some thought but the solution was pretty simple in the end.
Flexible data capture
My course needed a dedicated signup form, so I improved the one in the footer of my site so it can be changed on a page-by-page basis. Here’s how I did it.
Doing the work
Things are starting to take shape and my Hugo course is no longer just an idea. Here’s where I’m at and where I’m heading next.
Learning exhaust
I’m commiting to writing a course on Hugo by sharing the process in public. The plan is to create daily ‘learning exhaust’ in the form of updates like this.
Sharing more
I’ve added an updates page to my website so I can share short-form posts about what I’m currently working on and how I’m going about it.
