A bilingual blog built with Hugo and Blowfish.

Why
#

I always wanted my own blog to collect notes and insights. After comparing options, I settled on Hugo + Blowfish: fast builds, a beautiful theme, and built-in multilingual support.

Steps
#

  1. Scaffold: hugo new site quickstart
  2. Add theme: install Blowfish as a git submodule to track upstream updates
  3. Configure i18n: Chinese as default, English under /en/
  4. Write content: posts live in content/zh-cn/ and content/en/

Going live
#

Deploying a static site is trivial — host the public/ directory generated by hugo on any platform.

Summary
#

From zero to live in an afternoon. Hugo’s ecosystem is mature and well-documented — highly recommended for anyone who wants their own site.
