[ admin ] MVP for moving to HugoBlox

Lots have changed since I last got this website to succesfully build.
Thankfully, trying to write my own theme means that debugging this theme
was feasible. Is it completely fixed? No, not at all (for example, the
`blog` section renders horribly at the moment). But this seems to be
partially my fault; partially due to incompabilities/differences to do
with the new templates, hugo functions, and how metadata is embedded in
posts; and partially to do with that -- at the time of writing this
commit -- the new version of the theme has not reached feature parity
with the old version, due to the author moving to TailwindCSS for
everything:

> /!\ Caution
>
> The Tailwind module currently only supports the card view. Help
> contribute by migrating the other views from the Bootstrap module.
(https://docs.hugoblox.com/getting-started/page-builder/#listing-view)

But it builds for now (at least locally). And a building website is
much, _much_ better than a stun-locked old website.

 I am currently doing a PhD in Computer Science on
