I started a blog.....in 2024 (why you should too)

I’m creating the ultimate blog pipeline. After reading How to Build a Second Brain by Tiago Forte, I realized just how valuable my ideas are—and I needed a way to share them with the world. It starts with Obsidian for note-taking and organizing my thoughts, then Hugo formats everything into a beautiful website. From there, GitHub takes care of versioning, and finally, a webhook publishes it all seamlessly to Hostinger. In this video, I’ll walk you through how I built this pipeline and how you can create your own blog to share your ideas with the world.

You're an amazing dude: having 6 girls, and still doing these videos, maintaining a community. That's hard work!

[sullidan]

For the images, you can just change your settings in Obsidian to automatically place them in the folder you specify. Just go to Settings > Files and Links > Default location for new attachments

[swimon]

I rarely comment on videos - but i just wanna tell you how much respect i have for you. It ofcourse started as a "Im learning about this subject, and this cool dude with a nice beard a nice video about it" but now i watch most of your videoes simply because youre so positivy and full of energy. I have so much respect for you!

[samueldavid]

Hey Chuck, you changed my life in ways you can't Imagine. God Bless you man

[mav]

Long time I.T. guy here. Always amazes me when someone like you comes along and can show even us old "Boomers" some new and great ideas. Just set up mine. Went with a little more "complex" of a theme, so it took me a little longer, but all worked out in the end. Thanks for everything you do. Looking forward to many more.

[michaelexile]

I've currently been self teaching myself web development and was already in the process of working on my own blog using CMS for practice. This video came at a great time where I've been slowing down on that project and losing motivation. This looks absolutely up my alley and I will be working on it soon

[HugoValencia-rc]

I've never heard my own name spoken so often in a youtube video

[TechDude]

I watched this video over and over, because it's very useful information. Great timing as well, I needed to update my personal sites, and this is an amazing way of doing it. WAAAAYYYY easier to edit the content in Obsidian and automate the deploy pipeline this way than how I was previously doing it. Big thanks for making a video on this!

[Hashbrown]

Just wanted to say this video is excellent! A lot of tech tutorials are often light on the details, hours long, or miss important mechanical details that are outside the code (I love how you showed the part where you connected Hostinger to Github, that's something a lot of other people would have just skipped but including it makes this feel much less ambiguous). Great job!

[Jonix]

Maybe an odd thing to complement but I love your squiggles. I always struggle to take notes and underline inside of my books, from a odd feeling that books are a treasure, I shouldn't ruin. I try to break the habit and start doing it. You showing that it does not need to be perfect, and that you are allowed and can smudge the underlining really inspired me and help me to kick my misguided habit

[JustForFunMann]

Woke up wanting to blog again, came to youtube, this was the first video. Wild.

[gnomeofinvention]

Just want to say that those little victory cheers you do when something worked made me smile, cuz I also do that. Most coding and programming things go way over my head, but I'm super proud of myself whenever I get something to work, lol.

[mussiastudio]

Chuck, OMG, this is the most brilliant idea you have ever expressed here! Thank you so much for sharing this. I already use Obsidian and I am going to use it as a 2nd brain for cybersecurity, coding, and product design. The thing that I was kind of dreading was the whole publishing thing. I know that Obsidian offers their own way to publish my second brain, but I wanted to make it more special. Thanks to you, I now have a new cool project to work on when I have learned enough coding to make it happen. Thanks!!

[mahebert]

Most excellent, brave demo and walk-through. I am truly inspired to repeat this pipeline. Love the uncensored, comic enthusiasm. Guess I'll be touring some of you other content! Carry On!

[lovekiradiaries]

the algorithm is really crazy! I didn't watch any "blog related" videos for the past months but I just started (restarted) my blog few hours ago and this video pops up! I like it! 🤣

[MStudio-pt]

Honestly one of the best videos on the platform.

[mwebb-]

There is always a story for some one. This is so true. You can defnatly benifit others by sharing. Awesome your learning another lang. I wish you the best. thanks for inspiring all of us on YT land.

[Kyle-ynhy]

I know some people like to mark up their own books but my god it was like watching wartime footage the way you treated that book at the beginning.

[NetworkAdvisor]

good stuff Mister Chuck. It's a valuable point that we may not think what we have to contribute will add value to an already over-crowded conversation, but there is someone(s) out needing to hear an idea in a way that can only come from our individual perspective. 🙂
