The build pipeline for this site recently failed so I had to work out why and learn about updating Hugo sites. I recently wrote my yearly Advent of Code post, committed it to git and pushed to GitHub only to have the build pipeline that triggers, fail: The errors are around the use of deprecated functionality in the …

I decided to add Google Analytics to this site, luckily the Clarity theme makes this quite easy. This post details the update required to make Google Analytics work. One of the features I quite liked about Blogger was the ability to see site traffic for my blog posts. I never did this for vanity reasons, I always knew …

My previous (old) blog was hosted on Blogger and was called About 80 minutes. There is a reasonable amount of content on that blog that I wanted to host on this hugo site.

The different themes are sutilable for different sites, for instance geekblog is a good blog site theme, Resume A4 could be a good personal portfolio site and showcase could be good for …

Once Hugo and the build pipeline are set up, next steps will be customising Hugo. If you followed my Hugo Setup post you’ll now have a site that you can commit to for automatic build and deployment. So what’s the next step after this… well customisation of course. I’ll start with the customisation options covered in …

Welcome to andrewfitzy.github.io, this first post will give a step by step guide of how I got this site up and running.
