jpflores.rbind.io

Personal website for JP Flores, built with Hugo and the hugo-apero theme. Deployed via Netlify.

Stack

• Framework: Hugo + blogdown (R)
• Theme: hugo-apero
• Hosting: Netlify (continuous deployment from master)

Local development

Prerequisites: R, the blogdown package, and Hugo.

# Install blogdown if needed
install.packages("blogdown")

# Install the Hugo version used by this site
blogdown::install_hugo()

# Serve the site locally (live reload at http://localhost:4321)
blogdown::serve_site()

Or with Hugo directly:

hugo server

Adding a marginalia entry

1. Duplicate content/marginalia/_entry-template/ and rename the folder to your entry's URL slug (e.g. on-mentorship).
2. Edit the index.md inside:
   • Set title, date, excerpt, and lead.
   • Set draft: false when ready to publish.
   • Write your entry using ## headings for sections — the left-margin spine on the reading page builds from these automatically.
3. Optional: drop a featured.jpg (200×200) in the folder and add featured: featured.jpg to the front matter to show a thumbnail on the index.
4. Commit and push — Netlify deploys automatically.

git add content/marginalia/your-entry-slug/
git commit -m "Add marginalia entry: your entry title"
git push

Deployment

Every push to master triggers an automatic build and deploy on Netlify. No manual steps required.
