The website is developed using the Hugo static site generator and deployed on netifly.
The site layout was adapted from Carl Boettiger's lab notebook, the theme of which he's also made available as hugo-material theme. As noted there, this theme is an adaptation for Hugo of the Bootstrap-based Material Design by Creativetim, which itself builds off Bootstrap v4 and Google's Material Design kit. Thanks to Carl, Creativetim, Bootstrap and Google for contributing the open source materials that made this site possible.
Following are my notes on site upkeep.
Download & install Hugo from https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases. NB, you don't need Go to run Hugo.
To build site run
hugo
To view, run following, which will open a viewer on localhost:1313/
hugo server -D
Hugo uses short codes to easily embed content. See https://gohugo.io/content-management/shortcodes/
