This is the repo that runs Julie Gunderson's website

New blog posts

Here are the steps to follow to write a blog post on Julie's site

1. Install Hugo - NOTE: Please make sure it is at least version 0.55.6
2. Clone this repo
3. If you want to fire up a local copy to see your changes as you go, enter this command in a terminalhugo server -w --baseUrl="http://localhost:1313"
4. You probably want to do the previous thing in another pane/window, as it needs to keep running. The -w watches for any changes and rebuilds on the fly. You have to reset the baseUrl or it will try to go to www.juliegund.com
5. If you want to make a new blog post, type in hugo new blog/my-blog-name.md

Blog post files are stored in content/blog

Images in blog posts

If you want to have an image for the blog post, put it into the path at static/images/blog (for example, `/static/images/blog/my-cool-image.png). Add the following to the frontmatter of the blog post:

img: "images/blog/my-cool-image.png"

To have images embedded in a blog post, put them into static/images/blog as well, but where you want them in the post, use the following markdown:

![](/images/blog/my-embedded-image.png)

About page

To edit the About page, edit the file at content/about/_index.md

Other settings

There are a myriad of settings in the file config.toml.

Background images

The front page background and the header background will cycle through whatever images are located in static/img/header-slides-julie directory.
