So far, in my minimal web development experience I’ve never setup a true website such that my site had it’s own domain. I’ve owned at least one domain in he past, but I only used that for email services. However, I’ve heard one can setup a GitLab (and GitHub, etc.) site with a custome domain. Since I already had a custom domain, wetlandscapes.com, I thought I’d give setting up a custom domain a shot with the new site.

In a previous post I provided some notes related to setting up Hugo. In this post I continue with my Hugo journey, but focus on information related to hosting the site with GitLab Pages.
