A similar comment for the HTML portions of the message. Use html/template. It's got a couple of quirks (mostly around how it sort of weirdly conflates having one particular template with having a set of templates), but it's one of the safest template languages to just pick up and throw some stuff out; it's quite strong against injection attacks.

To assist in using JSON, you'll want to declare a struct holding all your config, at which point it becomes quite surprisingly simple to load it from and save it to a file.

Once you have that functionality, I suggest using it for your initial creation as well. I have a program here where I've been using the pattern that I create a default config sample within the program, and if I can't find the config you specify, I print out an error, and the sample JSON file that constitutes a full, legal config for the user's convenience. I wouldn't ship anything that I'd expect to end up in a Linux distro or something that way, but for an internal tool it seems a decent enough pattern.

Finally, I'd suggest reddit.com/r/golang is a better sort of place for this sort of thing if you want a review, and there's probably even better places, as I'm not convinced that a karma-based voting site is all that great for reviews for beginners. (It's really easy for a post like that to pick up a couple of early downvotes, and consequently lose all visibility to the people who are willing to help.) But if you're going to use one, /r/golang would be better.

Thanks for the suggestion :D

I am not shipping it to any distro or something like that. I was using this for myself and just made it open source.

Thank you for taking your time and reviewing this. As for /r/golang, I will look into it. :)
