After many, many, many years running my blog on WordPress, I finally got tired of fussing around with convincing it to do what I want it to do, and trying to get it to perform well enough to not have to wait 20 seconds for page loads. I’m also wanting to shift away from hoarding all of my content online.
I had been experimenting with Jekyll, but it was so unbelievably slow to generate the static HTML for this site that I had to give up on it.
