I added Reading time to my blog. It was easy to do since it’s part of Hugo.

It is only displaying if the reading time exceeds 1 minute.

In the layouts/posts/single.html template, add the following line below the date (or where ever you want it to display).

{{ if gt .ReadingTime 1 }} Reading Time: {{ .ReadingTime }} minutes{{ end }}

Maybe I’ll add this as an optional feature in the Cards theme soon. 😋
