Introduction

Welcome to my first post using Hugo! In this post, I'm going to showcase some basic Markdown formatting and discuss why I chose Hugo for my blogging platform.

This is bold text, and this is emphasized text.

Why Hugo?

Hugo is a fast and flexible static site generator, perfect for blogs, portfolios, and even company websites. Here's why I love it:

• Speed: Hugo generates pages at an incredibly fast speed.
• Flexibility: You can create any type of website with Hugo.
• Community: The Hugo community is supportive and continuously growing.

Markdown Basics

Markdown is a lightweight markup language that you can use to add formatting elements to plaintext text documents. Here are some basics:

• Headers: Use ## for a secondary header, and ### for a tertiary header.
• Lists:
  • Unordered lists are created using dashes (-).
  • Ordered lists simply use numbers.
• Links: To add a link, put the text in square brackets and the URL in parentheses.
• Images: Add images with ![Alt text](image-url.jpg).
• Code: Use backticks to highlight inline code or triple backticks for code blocks.

Conclusion

I hope this post gives you a glimpse into what Hugo and Markdown can do. Stay tuned for more content!
