The site is new, as you can see, and it’s moved away from WordPress to being a static site. Based on hexo.io. There is a plugin for Hexo that allows migrating posts away from WordPress in to what is, basically, a Markdown format used by Hexo. The migration was a bit rough and ready but after a bit of touch up the basics are here. As I get time I’ll tidy things up and straighten the shelves and may give it another lick of paint…

The reason for doing this is to get away from the maintenance of a Wordpress site. Static sites (HTML and CSS) don’t take a lot of maintenance. This is basically a vanity site and doesn’t see a lot of attention, it’s not worth the effort to keep WordPress up to date and secure.

Hexo is simple, written in Javascript and makes it straightforward to create a post and install it on the site:
hexo new post my-title, write the post, hexo generate, hexo deploy
and voila, there it is. And the posts are in standard Markdown format so are easy to transfer to another system should I wish…
