I had planned to build a new blog a few years ago. However, due to my busy schedule with studies and work, I didn’t have the time to do it. But now, it’s finally here!
New Framework: Hugo
Previously, I had been using Hexo for my blog since 2018. However, I have now switched to Hugo for several reasons:
- Hugo is written in Go, a language I am proficient in.
- Hugo is significantly faster than Hexo.
- Unlike Hexo plugins, Hugo modules can also install themes. It’s more flexible.
New Theme: Hugo Theme Stack
Previously, I had been using hexo-theme-material for Hexo. However, due to its lack of maintenance and some bugs, I had to find a new theme. After careful consideration, I chose hugo-theme-stack. The card-style design is also used on my personal homepage.
New Language: English
Previously, I had been writing my blog in Chinese. However, I wanted my articles to be understood by a wider audience, so I have decided to write in English. Writing in English will also help me improve my language skills.
