So, you have great ideas, you want to share them but… you have nowhere to present them. Today, I suggest you create a blog with Blowfish, a static site generator based on Hugo!
What is Blowfish? #
Blowfish is a static site generator based on Hugo, which is itself a static site generator written in Go. The big advantage of Blowfish is that it’s very simple to use and offers many features out of the box. This is the generator I use for this blog.
Creating your first article #
To create an article, simply create a folder in content/posts/ with the article name, then insert an index.md file with a header like this for example:
---
title: "Build a blog with Blowfish!"
date: 2025-03-08
draft: false
description: "🐡 *blub, blub*"
tags: ["blog", "blowfish", "hugo"]
---
You can then directly add your article content in markdown.
To add images, just put them in the article folder and reference them with .
Deploying your blog #
You can use services like Netlify or GitHub Pages to deploy your blog. Blowfish offers a deployment guide to help you do this.
