I'm self hosting my own hugo blog for my photography but I don't know what size I should upload my images at.

A few guides say I should upload at 1920px on its longest side but others say less, like 600px. What size are others uploading their images at?

Hi all,

I wanted to show a project I built to showcase my watched movies, series, video games, and books using Hugo, with content managed entirely in Obsidian.

The demo site is live here: https://christt105.github.io/mediatracker-starter/

A few key points on how it is built:

• Theme derivation: The theme (hugo-mediatracker-theme) is a module extending hugo-blog-awesome, leveraging Hugo's module system to easily inherit and override layouts.
• Convenient workflow: I take notes locally in Obsidian and a simple Python script handles the conversion of wikilinks, YouTube embeds, and caches all external image covers/banners locally to keep the site independent of external image hosting.
• Easy deployment: Anyone can deploy their own instance using the starter repository, which is pre-configured and ready to clone.
• Finished items RSS: The build generates a dedicated RSS feed for finished items only, which I use with a Discord bot to notify friends when I finish a movie, show, or game.

If you want to read more about the Hugo modules implementation and the conversion process:
