I decided to reboot my aged and out-of-date website in Astro. It was previously in WordPress. In reality, the content was old. A static site should be fine. I don’t need a smantzie CMS with a back-end database, module which need security patches, or anything else.

Motivating factors

  1. WordPress is more effort that it is worth to maintain just for a personal site.
  2. All of my previous articles are old.
  3. I don’t want to bother with WP/Module updates, security patches, or needing a database.
  4. Boredom! I would rather learn something new and write artciles in Markdown.

What was involved

  • Deciding on desired, minimum feature set.
  • Deciding which pages and articles to migrate.
