📂 Deploy to Hosting with FTP

1. Use an FTP client to connect to your server.

📝 Configuration & Notes

hugo.yaml

The hugo.yaml file is a configuration file for Hugo, the static site generator. It allows you to specify various settings for your Hugo site, including parameters related to the site's metadata, language settings, and other global configurations. The exact contents and structure of this file can vary, but it typically contains settings that affect the overall behavior of your Hugo site.

Priority of posts (weight:)

The weight parameter in front matter allows you to set the priority or weight of a specific content piece, such as a post. Lower values indicate higher priority, affecting the order in which content is displayed on your site. For example, setting weight: 1 would prioritize the content over a piece with weight: 2.

draft: false

The draft parameter in front matter is used to mark content as a draft. Setting draft: false indicates that the content is ready for publication, while draft: true keeps it in draft mode and prevents it from being included in the published output.

toc: true (table of contents)

The toc parameter in front matter is used to control the visibility of a table of contents (TOC) for a particular piece of content. Setting toc: true enables the automatic generation and display of a table of contents for the content, providing readers with an organized way to navigate long articles or pages.

author: (name of author)

The author parameter in front matter allows you to specify the author of a particular piece of content. This information can be used to display authorship details on the published page, providing attribution.

lastmod: 2024-01-10T09:00:00Z

The lastmod parameter in front matter is used to indicate the last modification timestamp of a piece of content. It helps in tracking when the content was last updated, providing useful information to both content creators and readers. (If lastmod information is entered, it will appear at the bottom of the post.)

data -> links.yml

The data directory in Hugo is used to store external data files. In this case, links.yml suggests the presence of a YAML file named links within the data directory for the Links page. This file contain structured data within a list of links, that can be accessed and utilized in your Hugo templates.

Notes

This appears to be a reference to a specific note within the "notes" section of your Hugo site. The URL https://YOUR_WEBSITE_ADDRESS/notes/#example-note contains a specific anchor (#example-note) pointing to a particular note.
