+
+I always wanted a website/blog to write articles about what I like, so today I decided to make one! 
+
+After buying a domain and setting up the server I had just to decide what to write the website with.
+
+## Hugo

+
+As a tech stack I wanted something simple and easy to mantain, 
+[Hugo](https://gohugo.io/) makes everything so easy and painless that it is too good to be true. 
+
+Just install it and then write in the terminal
+```bash 
+hugo new site <website-name> && cd <website-name>
+``` 
+to generate the template, install a good-looking theme from the [themes page](https://themes.gohugo.io/themes/) on the Hugo website, in my case Ficurinia
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/patrickacciaioli/ficurinia themes/ficurinia
+```
+add the following line inside of `hugo.toml` with the greatest editor ever lived (Vim)
+```toml
+theme = "ficurinia"
+```
+Start the server with
+```bash
+hugo server 
+```
+and you are ready to go. A complete blog in seconds.
+
+## Conclusion
+Building a personal website with Hugo was faster and easier than I could have ever done in plain HTML. With minimal setup and maximum flexibility, Hugo proved to be the perfect choice for my blog. Now, I can focus on writing posts worrying about the infamous [Hypertext Markup Language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML).
