A blog overhaul
I just deleted my wordpress blog. And I felt a great weight lift off my shoulders!
What remains are plain html pages, generated with jekyll. That has some downsides; in particular: no commenting. I’ve preserved all existing comments, but I didn’t build anything to add new ones. I rather suspect I won’t: it’s the sort of job that balloons on you, and I don’t really want to go back to playing tag with spammers. I still have to figure out what will replace the occasional warm fuzzies I got from reading comments from the faithful few who still follow along here, though.
There are definitely some rough edges remaining. There are broken links all over the place, because I didn’t think about the difference between a-post-url
and a-post-url
(and a-post-url.html
for that matter). The styling is, erm, “basic” is the nice way of putting it. It doesn’t even match the rest of the site! … Oh, there’s a rest of the site that really should be under jekyll too. So there’s some work to do. That’s ok. Since I started using GTD I’ve rather quickly gotten better at making slow-but-steady progress on things: I think I’ll get it fixed up, eventually.
