My name is Alexander Pieck, and even though I'm in the IT business, I'm usually the kind of sysadmin who runs the servers and hardware and gets blamed for slow internet speeds and bad password policies (spoiler: I also hate changing my password every 180 days).
Recently, I decided to give programming a shot. I started with some bash scripts for my dotfiles and loved the customizability and freedom that comes with doing it yourself!

Then, I thought about creating my own website. As an IT guy, I also have my own company and need a way to present myself on the world wide web. So about a week ago, I started dabbling in HTML and CSS. Just basic stuff like padding, margin, flexboxes, and layout/placement. This also helped me customize my dotfiles better.

I already knew a bit of markdown from using Git, of course. But I never really had the need to write much in markdown. Now, with Hugo as my site generator, I need to know markdown well. I think it's a pretty easy and fast way to deploy websites (even non-blog websites, if you know how), so I decided to go that route.

In my research, I explored several Hugo themes, but many were outdated. When I loaded them and started a server, bam - they threw weird CSS errors and some said things like `.. is deprecated, use .. instead`, which felt quite odd and frustrating. Since I'm new to the whole website industry, I wanted to stick to themes that work well and look nice:

I love its simplicity, but I know this is definitely NOT the right choice for a customers website who wants to display products or run a shop. Nevertheless, there's something special about it, something cozy and different, in the way PaperMod presents content. It also offers numerous configuration options, such as:

Another theme I considered is minimal_marketing. It looks amazing and simple, but the way it is advertised and the somewhat complicated installation process made it hard to get started. Maybe Ill give it another try later in my career 😜.

## spectral

The theme I selected and modified the most is spectral. It showcases a nice, big open screen, which I liked, and provides almost all the space I need on the first page. It also offers a way to manage Meetups, which was a requirement for the website. I thought it would be the easiest and nicest-looking theme I could choose, so I did.
