Showing Post Dates

While browsing the Roadster example website, I noticed that the publication date of posts was visible, whereas it was missing on my own website.

The solution turned out to be quite simple. The Roadster theme supports post metadata, but it needs to be enabled in the Hugo configuration file. The available options are documented here:

To display only the publication date of a post, add the following line to the [params] section in hugo.toml:

post_meta = ["date"]

To display both the publication date and the categories, use:

post_meta = ["date", "categories"]

Since this website documents my Hugo experiments, showing the publication date makes sense. It provides a simple timeline of when each experiment was created.
