Migrating to Static HTML

One this year's projects has been moving the (eight) websites I shepherd for various projects and community organizations from Wordpress to static HTML. I tried a bunch and settled on Hugo and Publii

I used Hugo for several simple sites. It's good for some things but it's really only suitable for coders and the image handling is a massive headache. 

Publii is extremely easy to use and works very well.  Using software that is both mature and completely free of user manipulation gimmicks really feels like magic. 🏆 

Oct 26, 2024: I haven't finished the content migration, but using Wordpress is now such a grating experience for me, that I went ahead and made the static site live.  A whole bunch of posts have been disabled until I can fix up the links and images.  Everything will be restored little by little over the next few weeks.  My Wordpress-to-Publii process (and some thoughts) are here.
