alexmoss.co.uk is - on the surface at least - an online CV describing the career of me, Alex Moss.
It also serves as a way for me to experiment with some cloud-native technologies using a very simple application.
- Dashboard
- Alerts
- Availability checks
The sections I wanted are different from what the theme ships with. You can control this by editing themes/somrat/layouts/index.html to control the filenames used etc.
These were the sections I ended up with:
- Banner
- About, Experience + Skills
- Services --> Tech Skills, extend with words
- Ditch the call to action
- Platform Engineering like About
- Cloud Architecture like About but reversed
- [removed] Portfolio - keep, link to other sites
- Education
- Testimonials --> Interests
- Fun Facts
- Contact
- There's some custom CSS added in
custom.css. - I disabled the tags + related posts functionality in
themes/somrat/layouts/_default/single.html, as I didn't want to use them and they looked odd with blank info. - I edited the "Read More" links to have a forward arrow instead of down, and therefore a different animation too. This is in
index.html. - I edited the portrait photo in the About section to not be width: 100% and to align it to the center of the div by setting
mx-autoinindex.html. - Added
contact.js(my own code) and linked to it inscript.html. For this to work I also addedjqBootstrapValidation.js(you can find this easily enough on t'interwebz). - Disabled the Portfolio section in
index.html. Didn't need it for this content. - Created a 404 page - it was blank. See
404.html. - Replaced remote sourcing of fontawesome and rubik fonts with local copies. I like to minimise my external dependencies!
- I also deleted several assets that weren't used - such as screenshots and example site for the theme.
./go run. You need to have Hugo installed (tested with hugo v0.90.1+extended).
As an aside, I considered the following other Hugo themes before settling the somrat one:
- port-hugo - pretty similar to this one
- timer-hugo
