Walkthrough

This change introduces a new static website structure using Hugo, replacing the previous Jekyll-based setup. It adds configuration, templates, content files (posts, publications, talks, teaching, portfolio, CV, about), and a comprehensive CSS stylesheet. The new structure organizes content into dedicated directories and implements layouts for single pages, lists, and the homepage.

Changes

Files/Paths Change Summary
hugo.toml Adds Hugo site configuration with site parameters, menu, output formats, and permalinks.
layouts/_default/baseof.html, layouts/_default/list.html, layouts/_default/single.html, layouts/index.html Introduce base, list, single, and homepage HTML templates using Hugo templating.
static/css/main.css Adds a new CSS file for global site styling, responsive layout, and UI components.
content/_index.md, content/cv.md Adds "About me" and CV pages with author background and embedded CV PDF.
content/portfolio/_index.md, content/portfolio/portfolio-1.md, content/portfolio/portfolio-2.md Adds portfolio section with index and two project entries (broken axes, sample item).
content/posts/*.md Adds multiple blog posts on technical topics (e.g., tenseflow, Jupyter launcher, brokenaxes, spiral plot, git timesheet, grouped bar, stacked step plot, ReachMyReps, Code Crafter).
content/publications/_index.md, content/publications/2009-10-01-paper-title-number-1.md, content/publications/2010-10-01-paper-title-number-2.md, content/publications/2015-10-01-paper-title-number-3.md Adds publications section with index and three publication entries.

Poem

In burrows deep, I hopped with glee,
From Jekyll’s den to Hugo’s spree.
New posts and pages, CSS delight,
A portfolio shining in modern light.
With templates neat and menus new,
This bunny’s site feels fresh and true!

@claude Error: command error: failed to load modules: module "" not found in "/Users/bdichter/dev/bendichter.github.io/themes"; either add it as a Hugo Module or store it in "/Users/bdichter/dev/bendichter.github.io/themes".: module does not exist

I'll help fix the Hugo module loading error. Let me analyze the configuration and resolve this issue.

Todo List

  • Read hugo.toml configuration file to identify the module issue
  • Check existing layout and theme structure
  • Fix the configuration to resolve the empty module reference
  • Ensure Hugo can build without theme errors

Solution

Found and fixed the issue! The problem was in hugo.toml:4 where there was an empty theme configuration: theme = "". This was causing Hugo to look for an empty module name in the themes directory.

What I did:

  1. Identified the empty theme configuration in hugo.toml
  2. Confirmed you have custom layouts in the layouts/ directory (baseof.html, list.html, single.html, index.html)
  3. Commented out the empty theme line since you're using custom layouts instead of a theme
  4. Committed the fix to the PR branch

Since you have your own custom layouts and styling, you don't need to specify a theme. Hugo will use your custom layouts from the layouts/ directory.

The site should now build successfully with Hugo! Try running hugo serve or hugo build to test.

1-6: Use comprehensive box‐sizing reset
Consider extending the universal selector to include pseudo-elements for a more robust reset. This will ensure consistent box sizing on all elements and their ::before/::after pseudo-elements:

* {
-    margin: 0;
-    padding: 0;
-    box-sizing: border-box;
+    margin: 0;
+    padding: 0;
+    box-sizing: border-box;
+}
+*::before,
+*::after {
+    box-sizing: inherit;
 }

44-55: Enhance navigation link accessibility
Add visible focus styles to .nav-links a to support keyboard navigation:

 .nav-links a {
     text-decoration: none;
     color: #666;
     font-weight: 500;
     transition: color 0.2s;
+    outline: none;
 }
+.nav-links a:focus-visible {
+    outline: 2px dashed #007acc;
+    outline-offset: 2px;
+}

This ensures keyboard users can clearly identify which link is focused.


331-340: DRY up responsive media queries
Several media queries adjust similar selectors. You can merge common rules to reduce duplication and simplify maintenance:

@media (max-width: 768px), (max-width: 480px) {
  .nav-links {
    gap: 1rem;
  }
  /* …other shared responsive rules… */
}
content/talks/_index.md (1)

6-6: Consider moving the description into front matter
Embedding the description under a description key improves SEO and template clarity:

---
title: "Talks"
layout: list
+description: "Conference talks and presentations."
---
-  
 Conference talks and presentations.

With this change, templates can reference .Params.description directly.

content/publications/_index.md (1)

6-6: Promote description metadata
Add a description parameter in the front matter to centralize metadata:

---
title: "Publications"
layout: list
+description: "Research publications and academic papers."
---
-  
 Research publications and academic papers.

This makes the description accessible via .Params.description in your templates.

content/teaching/_index.md (1)

6-6: Add description to front matter
Centralize the section description for easier template access:

---
title: "Teaching"
layout: list
+description: "Teaching experience and educational activities."
---
-  
 Teaching experience and educational activities.

This allows .Params.description to be used directly.

content/portfolio/_index.md (1)

6-6: Embed description in front matter
Streamline metadata handling by including the description as a front matter parameter:

---
title: "Portfolio"
layout: list
+description: "Project portfolio and featured work."
---
-  
 Project portfolio and featured work.

This makes the description usable via .Params.description in your list templates.

content/cv.md (1)

5-5: Add a title attribute for accessibility
Include a title on the <embed> element to describe its content for assistive technologies, for example:

-<embed src="/files/BenDichterCV.pdf" width="800px" height="2100px" />
+<embed src="/files/BenDichterCV.pdf" width="800px" height="2100px" title="Ben Dichter CV PDF"/>
content/publications/2009-10-01-paper-title-number-1.md (3)

11-11: Leverage front matter or Hugo templating for the download link
Instead of hard-coding the URL, reference the paperurl param or use Hugo’s templating functions to keep content DRY, e.g.:

[Download paper here]({{ .Params.paperurl }})

13-13: Prefer Markdown italics over HTML
Use *Journal 1* instead of <i>Journal 1</i> for consistent styling:

-Recommended citation: Your Name, You. (2009). "Paper Title Number 1." <i>Journal 1</i>. 1(1).
+Recommended citation: Your Name, You. (2009). "Paper Title Number 1." *Journal 1*. 1(1).

13-13: Add trailing newline
Ensure there's a blank line at the end of the file to satisfy POSIX conventions and prevent parser warnings.

content/portfolio/portfolio-1.md (1)

3-3: Prefer Markdown syntax for images and breaks
Rather than embedding raw HTML, use Markdown for readability and maintainability:

-excerpt: "Package for creating broken axis plots in matplotlib<br/><img src='/images/500x300.png'>"
+excerpt: "Package for creating broken axis plots in matplotlib\n\n![Broken axes demo](/images/500x300.png)"
content/teaching/2015-spring-teaching-2.md (2)

9-9: Capitalize "Markdown"

11-18: Use ATX heading syntax for consistency
Switch from underline-style headings to #, ##, ### for clearer, more maintainable Markdown:

-Heading 1

-Heading 2
-======
+ ## Heading 2

-Heading 3

content/talks/2020-05-13-nwbwidgets-1.md (2)

2-6: Add location metadata for consistency. Other talk entries include a location field to specify the city or format (e.g., online). Consider adding it here to maintain uniform front matter.

 venue: "NWB Remote User Days 2020"
+ location: "Remote (Online)"

12-20: Use Hugo YouTube shortcode for responsive embeds. Embedding raw <iframe> HTML can be replaced with Hugo’s built-in youtube shortcode for cleaner markup and better maintainability.

- <div class="embed-container">
-   <iframe
-       src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XoWdLNS_wHE"
-       width="700"

content/publications/2015-10-01-paper-title-number-3.md (3)

5-5: Use HTTPS for paperurl. Switch to https:// to ensure secure linking.

- paperurl: 'http://academicpages.github.io/files/paper3.pdf'
+ paperurl: 'https://academicpages.github.io/files/paper3.pdf'

6-8: Use Markdown italics instead of HTML <i>. For consistency, replace the HTML tag in the citation field.

- citation: 'Your Name, You. (2015). &quot;Paper Title Number 3.&quot; <i>Journal 1</i>. 1(3).'
+ citation: 'Your Name, You. (2015). "Paper Title Number 3." _Journal 1_. 1(3).'

14-14: Add trailing newline. Files should end with a newline character to comply with POSIX standards.

content/publications/2010-10-01-paper-title-number-2.md (2)

1-8: Use secure protocol for external links in front matter
The paperurl front matter is using http://. It's best practice to switch to https:// where available to ensure secure delivery:

- paperurl: 'http://academicpages.github.io/files/paper2.pdf'
+ paperurl: 'https://academicpages.github.io/files/paper2.pdf'

10-14: Avoid duplication by leveraging front matter for citations
You're hard-coding the recommended citation in the body, which duplicates the citation front matter. To keep content DRY and simplify updates, consider rendering {{ .Params.citation }} in your single-page template instead of repeating it in each markdown file.

layouts/_default/single.html (2)

10-16: Make header tags clickable for consistency
Currently header tags render as plain <span>, while footer tags link to /tags/.... For a unified UX, render header tags as links too:

- {{ if .Params.tags }}
- <div class="post-tags">
-   {{ range .Params.tags }}
-   <span class="tag">{{ . }}</span>
-   {{ end }}
- </div>
- {{ end }}
+ {{ if .Params.tags }}
+ <div class="post-tags">
+   {{ range .Params.tags }}
+   <a href="{{ printf "/tags/%s" (urlize .) | relURL }}" class="tag">{{ . }}</a>
+   {{ end }}
+ </div>
+ {{ end }}

23-31: Slugify tag URLs to handle spaces and punctuation
Use Hugo’s urlize on tag names to generate safe URLs. For example:

- {{ range .Params.tags }}
- <a href="{{ printf "/tags/%s" . | relURL }}" class="tag-link">{{ . }}</a>
- {{ end }}
+ {{ range .Params.tags }}
+ <a href="{{ printf "/tags/%s" (urlize .) | relURL }}" class="tag-link">{{ . }}</a>
+ {{ end }}
layouts/_default/list.html (1)

12-20: Sort and paginate your listing for better navigation
Iterating .Pages without sorting shows files in filename order. Users expect the newest items first, and pagination helps on long lists. Consider:

- {{ range .Pages }}
+ {{ $paginator := .Paginate (.Pages.ByDate.Reverse) }}
+ {{ range $paginator.Pages }}

Then add pagination controls (e.g., {{ if $paginator.HasPrev }} / {{ if $paginator.HasNext }}) at the bottom.

content/_index.md (2)

1-3: Enhance SEO with a meta description
Adding a description in the front matter will generate a <meta name="description"> and improve search visibility:

---
 title: "About me"
+description: "Dr. Benjamin Dichter’s background, vision, and work in neuroscience data science and open collaboration."
---

5-14: Add quick links to other sections
To improve site navigation, consider including links to key sections (CV, Publications, Portfolio) directly in the about page:

Feel free to also explore my [CV](/cv/), [Publications](/publications/), and [Portfolio](/portfolio/).
hugo.toml (1)

27-32: Consider a Home/About menu entry
Your main menu links to content sections, but there’s no “Home” or “About” entry. For easier navigation, you could add:

[[menu.main]]
  name   = "Home"
  url    = "/"
  weight = 5

Also applies to: 44-49

content/posts/2024-02-07-reachmyreps.md (3)

2-8: Standardize tag casing

The frontmatter tags mix lowercase (civic tech, democracy) and uppercase (AI). Consider using consistent lowercase for all tags (e.g., ai) to maintain taxonomy uniformity across the site.


12-13: Use Hugo URL helpers for images

Referencing the screenshot as /images/reachmyreps-screenshot.png assumes a leading slash; for portability, use Hugo’s relURL or absURL helper. For example:

![ReachMyReps interface]({{ "images/reachmyreps-screenshot.png" | relURL }})

Ensure the image is placed in static/images.


20-22: Streamline wording for clarity

This sentence reads "ReachMyReps removes these barriers by automating the tedious parts while keeping you in control of the message." Consider shortening "keeping you in control of the message" to "while you retain control" to reduce wordiness.

4-7: Accessibility & performance enhancement for avatar

Consider adding loading="lazy" to the sidebar avatar <img> tag to defer off-screen image loading:

+ <img src="{{ printf "/images/%s" .Site.Params.avatar | relURL }}" alt="{{ .Site.Params.name }}" class="avatar" loading="lazy">

7-7: Prefer local assets over external links

This screenshot is pulled directly from GitHub. For reliability and faster page loads, move the image into static/images and reference it locally:

10-21: Enhance social sharing metadata by adding OG/Twitter image tags
Currently the template defines og:title and twitter:title but lacks image metadata. Adding og:image and twitter:image improves link previews on social platforms.

+  <!-- Open Graph Image -->
+  <meta property="og:image" content="{{ .Site.Params.ogImage | default "/images/social-share.png" | relURL }}">

34-36: Improve navigation accessibility
Consider adding an ARIA label to the <nav> element for better screen-reader support:

- <nav class="site-nav">
+ <nav class="site-nav" aria-label="Main navigation">
content/posts/2022-07-18-grouped_bar.md (2)

23-30: Enrich docstring parameter descriptions
The parameters clabels and xlabels lack detailed explanations. Consider updating the signature and docstring:

-def grouped_barplot(
-    data,
-    clabels: List[str],
-    xlabels: List[str],
+def grouped_barplot(
+    data: Sequence[Sequence[Number]],
+    clabels: List[str],  # Category labels, length = number of data series
+    xlabels: List[str],  # X-axis labels, length = number of bars per group

And in the docstring:

-    clabels: list(str)
-    xlabels: list(str)
+    clabels: List[str]
+        Category names corresponding to each data row.
+    xlabels: List[str]
+        Labels for each x-position.

86-86: Use absolute image paths for Hugo
Relative paths like ../../images/grouped_barplot.png may break under Hugo’s permalinks. Convert to absolute paths:

- ![grouped_barplot](../../images/grouped_barplot.png)

8-13: Base typography and colors are well-defined
The system font stack, line-height, and color choices promote readability and cross-platform consistency. No changes needed here.


68-73: Grid‐based homepage layout is solid
The two-column grid with a sticky sidebar provides a clear, responsive structure. Implementation follows modern CSS practices.


281-287: Code block styling is effective
Background, padding, overflow-x, and border styles combine to create a readable code block experience. No issues detected.

content/cv.md (2)

1-3: Front matter structure looks good
The YAML front matter correctly defines the title and will integrate this page into your Hugo site navigation.


5-5: Use an absolute static path for the PDF
To ensure the PDF resolves correctly after Hugo builds the site, place BenDichterCV.pdf in static/files/ and reference it with an absolute URL, e.g.:

<embed src="/files/BenDichterCV.pdf" width="800px" height="2100px" />
content/publications/2009-10-01-paper-title-number-1.md (1)

18-20: Verify Bluesky profile URL format

You build the Bluesky link as https://{{ .Site.Params.bluesky }}. If .Site.Params.bluesky is just a username, you may need the full path (e.g., https://bsky.app/profile/{{ .Site.Params.bluesky }}). Please confirm the parameter value or adjust the template accordingly.

layouts/_default/baseof.html (4)

1-9: Well-structured document head
Dynamic page titles, meta description, and author tags are correctly configured. Great use of .IsHome to handle home vs. inner pages.


22-27: Static assets linking is correct
CSS and favicon references use relURL as intended, ensuring correct paths in different deployment environments.


42-46: Main content block is appropriately structured
Using Hugo’s block "main" ensures that child templates can inject or override page-specific content.


48-83: Footer author profile and social links
The conditional rendering of contact and social links, and safeHTML usage for the bio, are well-handled.

🛠️ Refactor suggestion

Ensure consistent sorting of recent posts

The current pipeline:

{{ $recent := (where .Site.RegularPages "Section" "posts") | first 3 }}

may not always yield the newest posts. To guarantee the three most recent by date, add an explicit sort:

{{ $recent := where .Site.RegularPages "Section" "posts" | sort "Date" "desc" | first 3 }}
🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In layouts/index.html around lines 39 to 44, the recent posts are selected
without sorting, which may not reliably show the newest posts. Modify the
pipeline to first filter pages in the "posts" section, then sort them by the
"Date" field in descending order, and finally select the first three. Replace
the current assignment of $recent with one that includes the sort step before
taking the first 3 posts.

…tion

The empty theme = "" line was causing Hugo to look for a non-existent module.
Since custom layouts are used, no theme specification is needed.
