Personal Website

Source code for https://danvolchek.com.

It holds links, details about projects I've worked on, and a blog for longer form thoughts.

It's a static website that's generated by a static site generator.

Overview

It uses:

• Hugo as a template engine
• Blowfish as the theme
• Github pages to host the content
• Google Domains for the custom domain name

Before this stack, I used a website generator I wrote myself that's remarkably similar in idea: take markdown files and generate a static website. I switched to hugo + blowfish because it looks better.

I've added some customizations on top of blowfish:

• Copying code blocks works regardless of the highlight.noClasses setting, allowing for custom code block syntax highlighting.
• The home page shows recent articles in multiple sections, with configurable settings like taxonomy and display style per section.
• The color scheme is custom.

Build/run

To run the development server:

hugo server

To build a new version:

hugo

To update blowfish:

git submodule update --remote --merge

then do another build. Make sure to check that the blowfish overrides still work:

• assets/js/code.js to enable code copying
• layouts/partials/recent-articles for the home page sections
