# I Redesigned the Site

Hopefully this will not be a yearly tradition of me updating the site, making one post, and leaving it untouched.

I wanted to write some posts this summer, (not really this summer more like five days ago), and either Jekyll wouldn’t put them into each projects’ feed or they wouldn’t show up. I had recently watched “Hugo in 100 seconds” by Fireship and had been looking at themes for a bit. So then instead of trying to recall what painful, voodoo witchcraft I needed to do to actually get these posts to display, (this was because I made my own theme, Jekyll is actually very cool) I switched over to Hugo and the LoveIt theme. I’ll probably fork and mess around with a custom color palette, but it’s now way simpler to write a post, just do `hugo new content\posts\postname\index.md` and write! Another reason for the move is that I won’t get security alerts for the Gemfile being out of date, Hugo isn’t included in the website repo and everything is just a mostly static webpage anyways. The theme also looks more modern than the old one, and it supports comments. I’m unsure whether or not to allow comments or if I can under GitHub pages. By the way, go check out the video. The guy makes good informational content.
