Adding a background image

Reading time: about 1 min

Adding a background image for your website is very easy.

Inside your website folder, there is an assets/ folder.

Simply create a background/ folder inside that and put in there any JPG, PNG or WEBP you want!

Note that if you put multiple pictures in there, Silicate will take the first one in alphabetical order.

For example, if you downloaded the resource archive from the Getting started tutorials, there is a background image in background/: bg_ep7.jpg.

Just put the picture inside assets/background/.

Your files should now be like this:

my_webcomic/
    hugo.toml
    assets/
        background/
            bg_ep7.jpg
    content/
        about.md
        comic/
            _index.md
            E01P01/
                index.md
                transcript.md
                strips/
                    E01P01.jpg

And now, the website should look a lot better!:
