Thoughts on Hugo

I've not touched my main site for over a month now, partly because I'm no longer liking the way the Hugo static site generator does things. I miss the ability to type into a text box, hit Publish and have it instantly online. Scribbles, which this site runs on, hits that spot for me without having the management headaches of WordPress.

So I will be mostly posting here for the time being while I decide what to do about paring down the Hugo build process. Moving my main site back to my old web host, which support FTP transfer rather than WebDAV, would also speed up deployment massively.

I don't mind some friction, but the current Hugo setup has too much for my liking.
