If you've seen a recent flood of backlogged blog posts of mine in your feed
|
||||
reader then I sincerely apologize. I finally pulled the trigger on switching
|
||||
from [Drupal](http://www.drupal.org), the fantastic CMS, to
|
||||
[Jekyll](https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/wiki), a fantastic site generator.
|
||||
|
||||
For a rather long time I've been pining to write my blog posts in nothing but
|
||||
[Markdown](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown) and [Vim](http://www.vim.org)
|
||||
and with Jekyll I can finally do that. I can also use
|
||||
[Git](http://www.git-scm.org) to properly manage the content for the blog,
|
||||
meaning I just about *everything* I do now resides in Git.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Migrating from Drupal was easy enough but I did need to modify [this
|
||||
script](https://github.com/rtyler/unethicalblogger.com/blob/master/drupal.rb) a
|
||||
bit in order to properly pull out:
|
||||
|
||||
* taxonomy (i.e. tags)
|
||||
* path alias
|
||||
|
||||
Overall, I'm very pleased with the transition. I spent far more time tweeking
|
||||
the look and feel rather than actually doing work (that's how it usually is
|
||||
with these things). Here's hoping it gets me blogging more!
