```
Here's Hugo's [official guide](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/quick-start/) for more details.
## Personalization
Hugo looks for a `config.toml` in the root of your site.
To personalize the theme, copy the default config shipped with the theme
`cp themes/lekh/exampleSite/config.toml config.toml`
And then customize accordingly.
Or simply copy the below config and customize accordingly.
```toml
baseURL = "https://example.com/"
languageCode = "en-us"
title = "Example Lekh Site"
theme = "lekh"
[params]
Name = "Agent Smith"
About = "We're not here because we're free. We're here because we're __not__ free. There's no escaping reason. No denying purpose. Because as we both know without purpose, we would not exist.<br/> Read more [here](https://matrix.fandom.com/wiki/Agent_Smith)"
Email = "agentsmith@thematrix.com"
Resume = "" # Add the filename with file extension.
PostLimit = 4 # Sets the number of posts to display on the front page
[[params.profiles]]
name = "GitHub"
url = "https://github.com/ba11b0y"
[[params.profiles]]
name = "Twitter"
url = "https://twitter.com/ba11b0y"

name = "Goodreads"
url = "https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/91520565-rahul-tiwari"
[[params.profiles]]
name = "LinkedIn"
url = ""
```
## Creating posts
```sh
# This creates a new draft post in content/posts
hugo new posts/title-of-post.md
```
## Serving it up
```sh
# This will show up your draft posts as well.
hugo server -D
#OR
#This will show up only your published posts.
hugo server
```
