I’ve finally decided to migrate the personal blog from wordpress to Jekyll. The main goal here is to stop being dependent on a database solution for blogging and trying to go light. It’s not to clear how this will work out. But for now it seems to be rather smooth. Hopefully, I can add more blog postings soon.
Here is a rough sketch of what I did:
- Dump the wordpress contents to an xml file via dashboard > tools > export
- Install poole theme for jekyll
- Modify the fonts and tweak the layout (slightly)
- Manually migrate the contents into
_postdirectory
Note that step 4 from above can easily be automated.
(I’ll try to document the process in detail one of these days)
