Posts

These are posts that I will periodically make to my blog. This will include a mixture of professional and personal posts that can range from cooking, outdoorsy, technology, or things I’ve worked on in my professional career.

This is a special blog post that will cover, drumroll please.. My Senior Capstone Project! In 2018 as part of my Bachelor of Science degree I had to complete a Senior Capstone Project, and present the project to my peers as well as attend the University of Cincinnati’s CECH (College of Education, Criminal Justice and Human Services) IT Expo.
New Blog Creation

Today I’ve taken it upon myself to create a new blog that I can use to show my proficiency in technologies as well as be able to say that I have a blog!

I’ve decided to use Hugo as the Static Site Generator because:

  1. It’s written in Go (A language I’d like to start learning)
  2. It appears to be one of the more popular static site generators

I previously tried going down this road with Pelican, which uses Python as the language to power it. But I found it rather clunky to get started with and lacking any themes that I liked. I will leave the old depreciated code up in my personal repo here: https://gitlab.com/retsnom513/retsnom513.gitlab.io. I will also be open-sourcing this blog as well, so the source code can be found here: https://gitlab.com/connorgrout/my-personal-site.
