Back at it again Well I certainly haven’t done much with this lately. Part of that is I just feel like I didn’t have much to say and part of it is the setup I had was a little too much of a pain to deploy. Because, you know, actually having to log in and push 2 or 3 buttons is so hard. Anyway, I wanted to find a better way to host the website and figured out how to build things with AWS and GitHub.

I’ve had a lot of fun setting up Hugo to set it up how I want. I will caveat this with a few things - I tried to do things the right way but often times, but I’m pretty new at this so more than likely I’ve made some beginner’s mistakes along the way. Also note that at the original writing of this I was using a host, but have moved since then to hosting on AWS.

While setting up this website I was constantly greeted by this in my address bar: I have no real reason for it to bother me, but it surely did. This must be remedied. My hosting is different from my registrar/DNS so accomplishing it took a little more work than it might if you have all that stuff in one place. I use namecheap as my registrar/DNS and HostPapa for my hosting (mostly because I used to use Lunarpages and they got bought by HostPapa).
