For the longest time I have been a fan of Wordpress, but the development lifcycle is drag and the slow speed of the server discourages me from authoring on Wordpress. So finally I entertained the idea of moving away.
Jekyll came to mind since one of my very respectable co-worker was hosting his personal website with Jekyll
- Jekyll to build the static pages
- Disqus for comments
- exitwp to transfer wordpress posts to jekyll
- wordpress-comments-jekyll-staticman to transfer wordpress comments to staticman
- Netlify to host the website
bundle install --path vendor/bundlenpm install yarn -gyarn installnpm start
- Replace Staticman with disqus comments
- Meta data
- Figure out how to add Title to the page
- add now page
- Add Favicon
