I feel like people spend more time migrating blogging engines than actually blogging.



Are we no longer differentiating between a blog and a blog post (i.e. an individual entry vs. the entire collection)?


I really liked your blog theme. Very neat!


Thanks! The theme is called ReMarkdown: https://github.com/fvsch/remarkdown


At least then you can blog about the blogging engine migration.


I personally enjoy the grand tradition of nerds writing blogs only about how they set up a blog.


I thought I would also end up just being one of those (I had a sort of setting-up the blog using Hugo post too). But lately my blogging on many other topics that I'm really passionate about has picked up.

Writing in Org mode has really reduced the writing block for me. I'm so glad I switched from Octopress to Hugo about maybe 2 years back.


Have you at least blogged about using org-mode?


No, I got into developing an Emacs package that exports Org mode to Hugo-friendly Markdown - ox-hugo. Here's the package homepage created using Emacs/Org mode + ox-hugo + Hugo: https://ox-hugo.scripter.co/.

I found the existing static site generators confusing and wrote my own, which ended up being equally confusing for everyone except me. Whatever works, I guess. https://github.com/sidmani/anodize


I still use bleeding edge PHP with articles written in XML originally implemented in 2001, it works no need to change, only occasional template or PHP related improvements.


I did that for a while.

I used Ghost, Octopress (which was basically Jekyll), a variety of SSGs that I tested and never got to deploying, and then Pelican.

Since January 2016, though, infrastructure work basically stopped and I just write things, and occasionally dink the theme.
