A tiny admin for my Hugo blog

This is not a PowerPC post. It is a behind-the-scenes post, and honestly one I am a bit proud of.

I love static blogs. Hugo builds this site in about a second, the output is just files, and there is no database waiting to break at 3 a.m. But there is one thing I kept missing: writing a post without opening a terminal. On the PowerMac G5 that is fine. On the couch, with a tablet, it is not.

Once upon a time I played a little bit with markdown, static files, php and so on and invented a small admin.php interface file where I can create markdown files, upload a picture and save that as a markdown file to the servers harddisk.

This was just a small test. Actually, I run two Hugo-Weblogs, one is TerminalDrome and one is Apfelhammer.de. And now it comes, wait for it: I adopted that small admin Interface to meet the needs of Hugo, TOML-Frontmatter instead of YAML, other paths to save files etc. pp. and this is my first post, using it. My english is as bad as it is, but anyways. It just works. Great.
