Hugo

Switching ports fixed a connection problem for some reason… the default one through sudo apt-get install hugo was from 2020, so intalled from source instead. Render: doesn’t seem to be picking up my commits as pulls. Just kidding it worked this time. All my links are to “example.com” – uhoh. Maybe I need to re-install the theme?
