I am currently moving from WordPress to Hugo, so your tutorial arrived just in time. Are your posts part of the content of your ebook series? Just asking in admiration of your frequency of daily new posts.
Great to hear! I'd say the biggest difference with WP is that you don't worry about plugins, updates, server, etc.
Maybe 50% of the posts I write are included in an ebook, I try to write them as a series, so they have a double purpose. One to help if you're searching specific information, the other more organized in an ebook where I explain something from the beginning with a clear structure. Making a series that ends up in an ebook also helps with ideas of what to write about, because I define all the topics beforehand.
The other 50% of the posts are individual pieces, maybe an explanation of a problem or task solved while coding, or just a description of something new I'm learning :)
It’s not just the blogosphere that is dying because of this „trick“. Some bigger mainstream media houses (at least in Germany) do the same thing to their news. They change the date and headline so often that you happen to click the same news several times in one or two weeks, only to realize „oh, that again, but with a totally misleading headline“
I‘ve been working for an online news network in Germany for several years. They hire people (mostly students) to do nothing but update their old articles on at least a weekly basis. Even too a point where it becomes almost unreadable because of so many useless and non-contextual updates. But it works in terms of ad revenue from google traffic.
