  2. Question for #bloggers and #web type people: Is there a smoother, quicker way to blog on #hugo ? I am getting to know the platform, and I like it (but don't know much about alternatives, being a WordPress escapee). I have it set up as a #blog on one domain. It takes around 5 minutes to post a blog entry, not including the time taken to write the entry. I don't use github, which seems to place me firmly in the minority of Hugo users. I also don't host this from my local machine; I have it on Opalstack (my no-nonsense webhost). My workflow right now is this:

    1. Navigate into my local wwww/content directory
    2. Create a .md file for the blog entry
    3. Type the blog entry
    4. Add any photos I might want to go with the entry, meaning resize & rename them, put them in the /images directory, and type the link in the blog entry
    5. Preview [optional, probably not necessary without images]: hugo server -D then over to my browser at localhost:1313 to make sure the post looks OK. Adjust, repeat as necessary
    6. Fire up Filezilla
    7. Enable the site (the presets for logging in and loading local & remote directories)
    8. Transfer everything from local to webhost (usually takes about 30s with "replace only if file is newer")
    9. Go see if it looks OK

    Step 8 (second-to-last) should theoretically be much faster with rsync but I'm getting error messages from Opalstack's server with that. I think I need their help, so maybe just assume step 8 could be simplified to an rsync command.

    Are there Linux packages/functions that simplify some of this? Should I just ditch Hugo and use something simpler if I'm only blogging? Is this pretty much what the future looks like for me?

  3. Presence

    Wouldn’t it be nice…
    To arrive with something
    Made by hand
    A page where colors once
    Listened to your breath …
    A small painting carrying a piece of your day
    Not bought, but felt, and gently given …

    Wouldn’t it be nice…
    To gift a folded note, written slowly
    With words that sat beside
    Your heart for a while
    Ink becoming warmth in
    Someone else’s hands
    A letter that lingers longer
    Than any object …

    Wouldn’t it be nice…
    To bring a pressed flower
    From a walk you loved
    Held between pages like a
    Secret of the earth
    A moment of stillness
    Wrapped in paper
    A memory, passed from you to them …

    Wouldn’t it be nice…
    To offer a jar filled with tiny intentions
    Little lines of hope, of courage, of light
    So on heavy days, they can open one
    And find you there, in a sentence …

    Wouldn’t it be nice…
    If our gifts carried pieces of our presence
    Instead f things that fade
    Without a story
    A drawing, a word, a fragment of soul
    Simple, and somehow, enough …
