Good Bye, WordPress
After 12 years, it’s time to call it quits and move on.
As I’ve written extensively about for a month now, I’ve been looking for something else than WordPress to run this site. I considered other content management systems, then static site generators, and finally settled on Hugo. The transition from WordPress to Hugo has taken a ridiculous amount of time, and I’m far from finished. It feels like I’ve barely scratched the surface, to be honest.
At this point, I’ve only moved the contents of the blog posts over to Hugo, and a lot of grounds-keeping remains before they are all in the shape I want them to be. But most of them are look acceptable, and I’ll go into more details in my next post, which will only be posted on the Hugofied version of the site.
Since the majority of the site – everything that’s not posts – will still be served with WordPress for the foreseeable future, I’ll also keep all the posts online for a while. It just makes my life a lot easier to keep the original WordPress site online. But it’s being moved to its own subdomain, legacy.vegard.net (now offline), and this is the last post I’ll publish using WordPress.
If you’re seeing this one on the front page, you’re in the wrong place. Please move along to the version of the site powered by Hugo instead.
