Backstory

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

Technology used

• 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

To run the project

• bundle install --path vendor/bundle
• npm install yarn -g
• yarn install
• npm start

Todo

• Replace Staticman with disqus comments
• Meta data
• Figure out how to add Title to the page
• add now page
• Add Favicon
