Writing a complete, professional blog post on Hugo CMS is simple and powerful. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Create a New Post

Run the following command in your project directory:

hugo new posts/my-first-post.md

2. Edit the Markdown File

Open the new file in content/posts/ and add your content. Use front matter for metadata:

---
title: "My First Post"
date: 2026-01-01T09:00:00+07:00
draft: false
summary: "A short summary of my post."
tags: [python, ai]
---

Your post content goes here. You can use Markdown for formatting, code blocks, images, and more.

3. Add Images and Code

  • Place images in the assets/images/ folder and reference them in your post.
  • Use triple backticks for code blocks:
print("Hello, Hugo!")

4. Preview Your Post

Start the Hugo server:

hugo server

Visit http://localhost:1313 to preview your post.

5. Publish

Set draft: false in the front matter to publish your post. Commit and deploy your site as usual.
