For org!

I switched my Hugo blog from Markdown to Org Mode. Markdown is fine, but I already live in Emacs and use org for everything else (notes, todos, project planning). Having my blog posts in a different format always felt off.

Why bother?

Org does more than Markdown. Tables actually work. Footnotes exist. I can embed code blocks and run them (Babel). And since I'm already in org mode all day, I don't have to context-switch when writing a post.

How I migrated

Pretty simple:

Added org support in Hugo's config.toml
Ran pandoc on my old Markdown files to convert them
Fixed a few formatting quirks that didn't translate perfectly

Was it worth it?

Yes. Everything's in one format now. I write posts the same way I write notes. No more switching between markup syntaxes.
