[@vert9252]

really bro you are the one of the best "FOSS" and tech youtubers, and I hope in the future to focus also on your blog and make a text version of the videos.

Thank you so much for this great explanation!

Hello there. I've just discovered your channel, great videos! I have some questions, I hope you don't mind me asking: I've been doing WordPress freelancing (small to medium sized websites) since a couple of years now, but lately I am thinking about moving to a more modern approach with something like a headless CMS. I have compared a lot of solutions out there, but I feel like most of the headless CMS are not really suitable if you do solo freelancing and can't invest a lot of money. Netlify CMS looks like an easy solution though. Are you using the free starter kit? The downside is, that you can only have one user, correct? Do you know, if I can use Netlify CMS like this: I am building a website for a client and as soon I am finished, I give my client the login, so that he can do changes on his website on his own. For the next client / project I am going to create another account and so on. Or do you have another approach or have you tried other CMSs?

But after all, can lay clients make posts normally or just clients who know how to handle code files?

[@EricMurphyxyz]

Yes, the whole point is that lay clients can make posts normally, you would just give them a link to the CMS frontend and a username/password and they can create and edit posts ala Wordpress

Can we run ads on the blog

[@EricMurphyxyz]

Sure, you would just have to add the ads to the theme files. I have another video on theming in Hugo: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZSwoqWYaNtlia8
