Hugo's theme of my blog

As promised in my previous post, I’m excited to introduce the theme that powers my blog: version 0.0.1.

I have migrated all improvements from my site to this theme. You can find the source code here: Hugo nederburg theme.

I have included examples for all enhancements in the theme’s exampleSite.

  • Shortcut for gallery integration.
  • Shortcut for Google Maps embedding.
  • Basic SEO optimizations.
  • CSS and JS compression.
  • Page speed enhancements.
  • Previous and next post pagination.
  • Automatic cover image feature: place an image named ‘cover.png’ or ‘cover.jpg’ in the post’s “/img” folder, and it will be used as the cover image.
