No disrespect intended, I've just never enjoyed all the tinkering that comes with managing this stuff myself. I just want to write & publish my posts somehow; used to use medium but then they added all these popups and annoying things, so I switched to Hugo. Now, it might be a good stepping stone to eventually just setting this all up myself, since I've been frustrated with the limitations of markdown & hugo shortcodes and occasionally just want to write things in HTML (yes I know you can write HTML in hugo markdown pages). But I never would get to that stage straight from hosted blogs like medium, so it is good that static site generators exist I think.

No disrespect assumed! :) tbh, when I see people using things like Hugo, i tend to assume they're on a part of the web dev spectrum that is equal-to or further-along than mine. This my failing. I made assumptions about your situation. I just tend to assume that people default to things like Wordpress when they need to exist in that hinterland between publication and bother.
Perhaps I need to look into these things a bit more!
