I’m not exactly known for working smart, but I do work hard. I often take the longer route, and that’s usually how I learn. I tend to do things the “hard way” roughly 45,000 times before I can figure out the shortcuts that make the process easier for me.

For those curious about how I deploy a website with new posts, here’s my workflow:

  • I write the content in Obsidian, complete with pictures and all the formatting.
  • Then, I copy the content from Obsidian into the /posts/ folder in Hugo.
  • Next, I use Hugo to compile a new version of the website with the updated posts.
  • Finally, I use rsync to upload everything to my hosting provider.

Initially, I was uploading files manually through FTP, but that process was too slow and incredibly frustrating. Switching to rsync saved me a lot of time and headaches! :D

So, what’s next? I’m thinking I might involve github in some shape or form so I can just make a fork and deploy it from there. But that’s a whole another idea and project.
