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.
