Being stuck inside during the COVID-19 outbreak left me with a good opportunity to make improvements to my website. I made a template for posting my music, and am in the process of adding my composition portfolio into .yaml format.

Hugo works really well for writing very functionally minimal HTML!

To make a page-specific template, in the layout directory make a directory with the same name as a top-level directory in content.

/content/music/... <- page
...
/layouts/music/list.html <- template

The lookup order of templates searches there before it hits /layouts/default/ .

I decided to make each song in /music/ a data type instead of a markdown file. This allowed me to make a template music.html and have less code.
