In a previous post, I wrote about how I moved this blog to Hugo. Since then, I’ve been receiving notifications from GitHub’s Dependabot about dependencies needing to be addressed… in the Gemfile and Gemfile.lock. These are two files that don’t exist in the repo or any branches.
I got tired of the emails and large yellow banner at the top of the repo. Time to hunt for a fix.

GitHub has been diligent in reminding me that there are security vulnerabilities in the dependencies of my blog. I used jekyll for the static site building, a collection of npm packages for some glue-code in the build process, and based my theme on twitter bootstrap. All of this adds up to a lot of dependencies to keep up with, and I haven’t been blogging for a while…

time myself… lets see just how easy it is!).
Today I decided that it was time I learned how to build

webparts. Easy enough right? Find the right tutorial online, follow
instrucitons, hello world! Let’s get started.

to a list, or a document library. However, you could use Windows explorer view
to upload a document.
