In part #1 of the posts on the site relaunch I will focus on the updates of HUGO and the Academic theme/Wowchemy. I will elaborate on how and why the integration of the Academic theme/Wowchemy with HUGO changed and what the implications are. I will describe how well this update worked for me.

I will explain my reasons for having a blog and a personal website. I will illustrate the preceding decision process for choosing the appropriate technologies. I decided to go with the static site generator Hugo. It is a text file based Content Management System (CMS). I also compared Jekyll to Hugo. I will show some features of Hugo, like support for themes, syntax highlighting, and support for typesetting Math/LaTeX expressions in HTML sites. Finally, I will share my experiences so far with the technology.
