Google Analytics in my Hugo website I initially was using the following code to track my google analytics however it wasn’t working: <script type="application/javascript"> var doNotTrack = false; if (!doNotTrack) { window.ga=window.ga||function(){(ga.q=ga.q||[]).push(arguments)};ga.l=+new Date; ga('create', 'G-3VXD2H9YHW', 'auto'); ga('send', 'pageview'); } </script> <script async="" src="https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js"></script> I’m using a Hugo theme which happens to be using a Hugo internal template. I basically entered my tag manager measurement id into the yml config file and it constructed the javascript above.

The U.S. Web Design System (USWDS) is a design system for the federal government to build accessible, mobile friendly government websites. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be used outside of government. I’m going to create a very basic hugo theme that utilizes this design system. Eventually when I build it up enough, I’d like to replace the theme initially used on the BogdanWorks website, gohugo-theme-ananke theme, with the USWDS theme I’m creating.

Formspree is a form backend, API and email service for HTML & Javascript forms. It’s a simple way to embed custom “contact us” forms on a static website, like Hugo. I’d like to add a reCAPTCHA to the form so I don’t recieve too much spam mail. It’s a simple process, but I’ll go through the steps in how I set it up for this Hugo website. And you can see my contact form in action right on this site.
