I love the way you explained it, making me feel more confident for learning all these process! Thank you for being so helpful!

Thanks! I've been interested in Hugo since a few months when I saw somebody making one with Emacs (I'm an Emacs user). I saved a tutorial video series on it but I never got around to watching it. But yours just inspired me to watch the one you made and finally work on mine. :)

Helpful video, thank you. I wonder about the security point. Is it safe to declare the social media account password (26:00 ) while the connection is HTTP? I am new in web development but as I know yet it is not recommended, isn't it?.
