Hugo

I really haven’t paid much attention to my blog in a few years. Part of that was probably due to the fact it was running on ColdFusion (Railo 3.3 really) using Mango Blog. Both are extremely out of date and started looking for an alternative. First thought was to convert to WordPress, but given the hassles to set it up and run it securely with seemingly constant vulnerabilties reported pretty much ruled it out.

I wanted to simplify the stack and reduce attack surface, so static generators seemed like a good place to start. I looked at Jekyll first and then several others but ultimately decided on Hugo.
