tlocrt Website

This website is made with Hugo. Creating the first version took a small eternity because I had no idea what I was doing. But it’s been fun!

What you’re seeing is a custom Hugo theme, developed by following the first ~1/3 of the helpful book Build Websites with Hugo by Brian P. Hogan and then freestyling.

What’s up with the name?

The word “tlocrt” (pronounced tlotsrt) means “ground plan” in Serbo-Croatian. I picked it because I liked how symmetric it looks and because it’s not easy to find a cool domain name in 2024 that is also available…

The logo was inspired by the meaning of the word and contains elements of technical drawings.

Features

Features that took way more time than they should have include:

• Serving a downsized version of all images (unless the user clicks on an image — then they get all the pixels).
• Responsive design (this means that things will be positioned and scaled differently, depending on your screen size).
• Automatically generated “Latest” section on the homepage (the big breakthrough came when I realised I should be using .Site.RegularPages instead of .Site.Pages).
• RSS feed not quite ready yet :/ But if you, dear reader, find yourself reading this and thinking “oh I wish there was an RSS feed”, email me!
