Installation

Inside the folder of your Hugo site run:

$ cd themes
$ git clone https://github.com/lgaida/mediumish-gohugo-theme

Preface

Most of the images e.g logo, author-image, post-images should be placed somewhere in the static folder of your gohugo-site. You can then reference them via the config.toml or the post.md-files. I would suggest placing all your config-specific images under static/images and all post-related images under a arbitrary folder like static/images/posts. However your folder-structure will be there is one exception: you need a file named jumbotron.jpg to be present under static/images since this one is referenced in the .css

Post Example

To create a simple post use the hugo new command as usual.

hugo new blog/my-first-post.md

You then have a few options which i want to point out in the following.

---
title: "My first post"
date: 2018-10-01T15:25:19+02:00
publishdate: 2018-10-07T11:17:14+02:00
lastmod: 2018-10-08T18:55:29+02:00
image: "/images/Test.jpg"
tags: ["post", "interesting"]
type: "post"
comments: false
---
# Lorem ipsum
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aenean semper libero quis dictum dapibus. Nulla egestas vitae augue eu rutrum. Duis ullamcorper dictum ipsum. Interdum et malesuada fames ac ante ipsum primis in faucibus. Suspendisse tortor dui, fermentum non dapibus id, volutpat non odio.

publishdate: is displayed at the top of the single-view
lastmod: is displayed as a hint on the single-view
image: is displayed in the list- and single-view
tags: are used as usual, just add the tags you want to use. They are displayed in the jumbotron on the list-view, and on the bottom of each single-view
comments: true/false to turn on/off disqus-comments

Static Content

I added a customized layout for content of type "static", which means that posts in the folder "static" are displayed as standalone pages. I also disabled the list-layout for this folder.

For example: to create an imprint, simply go with the following command and add your markdown-text.

hugo new static/imprint.md
