Template Details
Hugoblog is a blog theme for the Hugo static site generator, positioned for personal blogs and emphasizing a responsive, simple page structure. The repository provides an exampleSite directory containing a config.toml example that can serve as a starting point for site configuration; the theme is installed via Hugo's themes directory and can be cloned or added as a git submodule.
In terms of features, the theme supports setting a site logo in config.toml (site_logo points to an image path under /static), and Disqus comments can be enabled via disqusShortname. The README does not describe other content types, multilingual support, search, or pagination, nor does it provide information on performance or production suitability.
Usage limitations: before installation, the Hugo extended version is required and a Hugo site must already be created; the theme was last updated in 2022 and does not specify a compatible Hugo version range. Third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons must be checked separately under their respective licenses; the MIT license for the code does not cover these assets.
