Blogging with Hugo and Org Mode

Over at ZCL.SPACE there’s an informative post about blogging with Hugo and Org mode. The post serves as a reasonable go-by for setting up and using Hugo for an attractive, static blog. Although Hugo now supports Org markup natively, the post recommends exporting to Hugo compatible format using ox-hugo.

The ZCL blog is a bit unique because it is divided into distinct sections. Each section has its own Org file in which each level-one heading is a post. If you’re looking for a way of writing a static blog with Emacs and Org mode, take a look at this post for some good ideas.

While I still prefer to blog with WordPress, my ongoing problems org2blog and the XML-RPC interface to WordPress that it uses are tempting me to consider switching over to a simpler static blog. There’s a lot to be said for a blogging platform in which pushing a post amounts to transferring a file to the site.
