I moved my blog over to Jekyll hosted via Github: https://blog.andrewrondeau.com/

The site itself isn't anything "special." I've had a personal website for about 25 years; the past few years I finally moved from making HTML by hand to using various CMSes. I tried a "no database" CMS that my hosting page had, then I wrote my own CMS, https://github.com/GWBasic/z3, to learn node.js, but then I had to go back because Heroku dropped the free tier.

Jekyll is interesting. As a Mac user, I'm surprised there isn't a push-button app, like MAMP, to just run it. Instead, I got exposed to some weirdness with Ruby versioning that, because I don't have any Ruby experience, was frustrating.

The default Jekyll template has warnings, but when I tried to fix them, I ended up jumping into a rabbit hole of sass versioning.

I also ended up jumping into a rabbit hole with setting up redirects from old urls on my blog to their new locations. I don't touch Apache / cpanel that often, so there was a bit of a learning curve for me.

One funny thing was that I set up two redirects, in cpanel, from the same url to two different urls. (It was a mistake!) I couldn't delete them, so I had to submit a service request with my host.

Two interesting things that I do not have time to do:

- Set up Github actions to deploy on my original host (andrewrondeau.com) - Set up redirects from blog.andrewrondeau.com -> andrewrondeau.com
