I wanted a home for my amateur radio stories that was fast, mostly text with a few pics, version-controlled like code, and cheap to keep running.

So I skipped WordPress. The stack is:

  • Hugo as the static site generator
  • PaperMod as the theme
  • Cloudflare Pages for hosting
  • Git as the publishing workflow

Hugo is written in Go. Markdown and templates in, HTML out. Content is just files in a repo, builds are fast, and I can keep sections straight:

  • /dxpeditions/eleuthera-2026/
  • /posts/
  • /about/

PaperMod is a simple theme. Clean type, readable posts. I didn’t want a heavy portfolio look or a dark terminal look.

Cloudflare Pages is free, it builds on push, and the workflow is git commit, git push, site updates. No database, no patching, no admin UI to babysit. Everything that matters lives in the repo.
