Delete the Timestamps from your Static Blog

I build this blog using Hugo, a popular static site generator.

The way Hugo works is that when I create a new blog post, Hugo generates a default template that looks like this:

---
title: "My New Post"
date: 2024-11-16T20:33:09-04:00
---

The boilerplate for the post contains a publication time with a timestamp. But the timestamp obviously isn’t the time that I published the post, as I’ve just started writing it.
