How to create a post in Hugo
Hugo is a fast and moden static website generator written in Go. Hugo is a general-purpose website framework, which means that it does not dynamically build a page with each visitor request, but rather builds pages when you create or update your content.
Creating a Post
To create a post for your Hugo website just apply the following syntax in your command line:
hugo new post_name.md
Common Errors
