Latitude: A Theme for Hugo

June 16, 2025

Here’s something I’ve been meaning to do for a while.

I’ve created a Github repo for this site’s theme, which I am dubbing Latitude.

Latitude was originally forked from Luke Smith’s Lugo, so a special thanks goes to him for helping me to grasp Hugo themes. Several features from Lugo have been carried over into Latitude.

Some notable stuff:

• I don’t have Hugo generate the main landing page (index.html). This comes down to personal preference, and you could have Hugo manage it if you wanted.
• Latitude has two stylesheets. There’s style.css for PCs and other larger devices, and mobile.css for phones. This helps to make reading and navigating easier on phones while preserving the site’s overall aesthetic. You don’t have to run with two stylesheets if you don’t want to.
• The styling for the Gallery page is a mess, and there’s probably a better way to do it. Just beware.

If you end up using the theme, I would love to hear about it!
