Thank you for the great article! Here are a few additional notes from my own use of Hugo so far:

For those that like to start from scratch and build templates from the ground up, there is a simple "themeless" Hugo tutorial at ii.com.
One can choose to use TOML rather than YAML for each post's "front matter" by separating it from the content using +++ lines. Either way, one can store arbitrary JSON-like data structures there. I have recently (ab)used this feature to store the data representing interactive language lessons in files that consisting only of "front matter" on a site I recently migrated from Django to Hugo.
