Goodbye Wordpress, hello Nikola

As I've written before, I have started looking into the Python world more and more. During the last year or so I've also started to be interested in running my personal site a little differently.

Both interests came together when I found Nikola, a static site generator written in Python. Today I migrated everything over. Parts included:

• Nikola for actually generating the static HTML (contents migrated from Wordpress)

• The Slate Bootswatch theme, which itself is based on Bootstrap

• Comments by Disqus, migrated from Wordpress.

• Local site search by DuckDuckGo.

• Fonts by Typekit

The main manual for migrating Wordpress to Nikola was by Niko Wenselowski.

Moving the generated HTML (and CSS) (and JS) to the webserver is still a manual process using SCP but I am planning on one day using rsync for that.

If you see any problems, please leave a comment.
