This is now my third attempt at migrating from Jekyll to Hugo. I’m writing this post before I finish the migration. Luckily, because this is my third attempt, I’m confident I will see it through to the end. After following the Hugo quickstart guide, I imported my Jekyll posts hugo import jekyll ../../my-blog/ . --force enabled syntax highlighting hugo gen chromastyles --style=monokai > syntax.css and turned on the configurations for highlighting adding the following to my config.

Hello and welcome to my third and final attempt to start a blog. To be honest, the hardest part has been choosing what tool to use to build and maintain the blog itself. I’ve been so inundated with The Next Big Thing™ in static site generators that I never actually got started on the writing part. That didn’t seem right. I’ve tried to keep things as simple as possible. This is stock Jekyll with no bells or whistles to get things started on the right foot.
