Imageblog is up! Name 名無し 2026/04/19 ( 日 ) No.1776556800
hello everyone! this is the first post on my blog!
as you can see im using a weird layout. It looks like an imageboard (imagine 4chan, futaba, any other altchan), but you can’t post on it, you can’t make threads, nor interact in any way.
this is because this website is only an hugo blog with a custom theme called “imageblog”, it is a bit confusing, but I thought it would look cool :)
soon I will have an example layout so you may use it for your blog too!
this theme has some cool features!>full greentext support! instead of blockquotes, you have greentext just like other imageboards (unfortunately, there is a limitation on how blockquotes work, so there must always be a breakline between paragraphs)
>compression on images! images on the posts and the catalog are compressed so it’s lighter to load
>multiple posts per thread! every “thread” may be represented as many posts on full markdown files
>unique post identifier! every post has a unique number (which is not elegant, i just used the UNIX timestamp as the post number lulz, but it is unique!)
>most recent posts on the front page
>multiple board support!i hope you like it! i will try to update it for support, many things are planned, but not yet implemented, like:
>per board rss support
>a better about page
>light and dark mode support, and custom themes (i didnt touch javascript while making this)
>possibility of different banners per board
>try to make the code less clunky and hard dependent on YAML variableswhen i feel it’s in a decent enough state, i will make an example blog using it and sharing the template.
sorry for not making it available now!
to use imageblog, the markdown is written in a certain way
there must be certain parameters in the markdown for it to work properlytitle = 'title'board = '/brd/ - BoardToUse'image = 'exp.png'date = '2000/01/01T00:00:00'title are the title of the thread, they are only used in OP posts, which must me marked as index.md inside the post directory
image is just a link to name of the image file, it is necessary for OP posts, otherwise your thread will not appear on the catalog!
date is necessary also for two reasons:>keeps the order of posts from oldest to newest
>creates the post reference numberwhen writing greentext, its important to end it with a paragraph
here some post (always two spaces after the line to create a breakline) >green >text (paragraph here)no more greentext!otherwise it would just continue to greentext indefinetely
if any other tips on how to use it come to mind, ill update this post
this thread will become a metathread for this little template and its progression!
