Migrated to Jekyll
Most of my week was spent creating a custom layout and migrating to Jekyll. It was actually a lot of fun, and I enjoyed every minute of it. The Wordpress migrator that comes with jekyll got me started, but I ended up having to go in and make quite a few adjustments to the posts. I blame this mostly on Wordpress’s WYSIWYG for claiming certain posts were in Markdown, when they were really stored as HTML in the database. It was interesting going through old posts to apply these fixes. After 6 years, you can find yourself forgetting you even wrote a particular blog post.
The baisc layout of a Jekyll site looks like this:
.
|-- _config.yml
|-- _layouts
| |-- default.html
| `-- post.html
|-- _posts
| |-- 2005-06-22-new-dns-control-out.markdown
| `-- 2009-12-19-replaced-the-woot-tracker.markdown
|-- _site
`-- index.htmlIf you’re interested in viewing the source code behind this site, have a peek.
