Margin notes

I’d like to add margin notes to my website.1 I’d also like to learn how to use Fiverr.2 So, I’m going to hire someone on Fiverr to add margin notes on my website.

Fabian, over at capnfabs.net, has an excellent post where he adds margin notes to his own hugo blog. We’ll be using that for guidance.

After my Fiverr experience I’ll update this snippet or add a new one, ideally one full of margin notes.

Update (same day): I’m back! I didn’t use Fiverr. I used the post on capnfabs for reference and set up margin notes myself. Thank you Fabian for documenting your process.3 I’ll have to learn to use Fiverr another day.

I’m glad to have this working. There’s room to improve the style though. Perhaps in a future iteration I’ll move the main content left to give more space for the margin notes, or make some changes to the font and size.


  1. I’d like this to be a margin note. At the time of this writing, it’s a footnote. Update: Now it’s a margin note! At least if your browser is wide enough… otherwise it’s still a footnote. ↩︎

  2. I’ve used it twice before, but I didn’t have a great experience with the one programmer I hired. ↩︎

  3. Really, it is greatly appreciated! 🙏 ↩︎
