My Hugo Blog Is Live: Setup Notes

I finally shipped the first version of this blog.

The goal was simple: keep the stack lightweight, write in Markdown, and publish quickly without fighting tooling.

What I set up first:

1. Site metadata (title, description, author profile)
2. Navigation (blog, tags, categories)
3. Theme defaults (appearance, reading options)
4. First two posts with clear front matter

What I like most so far is how fast the writing loop is: edit Markdown, run Hugo, publish.

If you are starting your own Hugo site, begin with a minimal config and only add features when you actually need them.
