Hugo provides a new
command to create a post, As you know this template is a multilingual template, that’s why when you create a new post, you need to define which language post is this, as a example for creating a new post is hugo new content/english/blog/new-post.md
, it will create a post for English language.
Configure Post
You can configure your blog post from the front-matter. Front-matter starts with ---
and end with also ---
. In this front matter you can give author = author name
, description = meta description
, image = images/blog/post-thumb.jpg
, bg_image = image.jpg
( background image is for page header), categories
and tags
.
One thing is remember that you must need to declare the <strong>type = post</strong>
.
When you created a new post, the draft
default value is true, and when the draft is true your post will not show, you need to change it for showing this post. like draft = false
. Only then your post will show in blog page.
After closing front matter give your post content, remember that every file that has an .md
extension, are supports markdown.
