Read MoreCopying files based on file content between two locations with Azure Data Factory
Recently I ran across a scenario and found myself coming up empty in looking for resources on how to solve it. I didn’t think the scenario was all that unique, but I could find not a single article or post on how to solve this problem. It’s situations like these that interest me because not only do i want to figure it out, but I want to write about it as well to help others who may run into this.

Read MoreAdd Search to Hugo Sites With Azure Search
A few months ago I re-launched my site on Hugo. At that time, my goal was simply to get off my own platform and onto Hugo.

That’s what this post is about (and the next few). I’ll show you how I added search to the site using Azure Search, and all using the 100% free tier!

In this post, I want to share some updates to the presets that have been published.
