Content Suggestions

A few suggestions to help you get a good looking site quickly:

• Keep blog posts in the content/posts directory, for example: content/posts/my-first-post/index.md
• Keep static pages in the content directory, for example: content/pages/about.md
• Keep media like images nested in an images subdirectory, for example: content/posts/my-first-post/images/screenshot.png
• Use the <!--more--> tag in posts to control how much of a post is shown on summary pages
• Disable social sharing icons site wide (or on individual pages/posts) by setting sharingicons = false
• If your content is stored in git, add enableGitInfo = true to your site config and Hugo will use git history to set a more accurate modification date in page metadata
