Migrating

A post; 21 November 2023. Addendum 19 August 2026.


migrating

I've moved on from a messy from-the-hip HTML site to using a static site generator (Jekyll).

I migrated the older content because I don't want to throw it away.

The old approach had a lot of blank canvas-style freedom, but that introduced some overhead and organizational/creative frictions that seemed counter to my main goal of maintaining a writing habit as a tool for thinking and learning.


Addendum (19 August 2026): the migration has reversed course, like a bird flying home. The site is once again plain hand-written HTML, with no generator or build step, though it keeps a common stylesheet and a fixed page skeleton so the frictions stay low. The old Jekyll URLs still work; they point here.
