Blog is Rebooted!

Jekyll Sticker

At long last I finally got my static site generator for this blog working, using Ruby, Jekyll, Bitbucket Cloud, and Kattare Web Hosting. I’d been thinking about this for about a year and a half and I finally scraped together enough minutes to get it done. I hope that for several reasons, it will be a simple, easy to maintain system:

Content written in Markdown, using any text editor
No frontend/backend to maintain, no database or complex CMS system needed
No active scripting, so less chance of having security issues
Publishing is as simple as git commit, git push
Even though tools are not WYSIWYG, it should be easier to focus on the content rather than the tools

I was able to import pretty much all of the posts from the old Wordpress blog, but I didn’t save all of them. I deleted a lot that were really just webpage bookmarks and other stuff that wasn’t relevant anymore.
