I have been fed up with my old [Wordpress][1]-based blog for quite some time now.
|
|
One factor might be the missing updates, but another issue was Wordpress (WP) itself.
|
|
Sure, WP looks like a simple solution, if all you want is have a blog
|
|
with some usable tools around it.

|
The biggest issue I have with WP, is the attack surface I expose on my server.
|
|
Every site is dynamically generated with PHP (yuck!) and the site has stuff like logins to manage.
|
|
Given the popularity of WP, it is a [common target][2] for attackers and securtity issues in WP
|
|
are often exploited to get access to unsuspecting bloggers.
|
|
That is the reason, why I want to get rid of WP, and dynamic pages, altogether.
|
|
|
|
Enter [Hugo][3], a static site generator. With hugo I can organize my content nicely
|
|
in a Git repository and automatically generate my site from there.
|
|
No more dynamic parsing and no more exploitable user input on every page load.
|
|
|
|
Of course, there are also some small issues with a static site.
|
|
First, there are no comments at the moment. There are dedicated
|
|
comment tools for this purpose that I will look into, after the initial site 'relaunch' is done.
|
|
Second, I have to make sure that the old content is rendered properly.
|
|
This means going through all old posts and making sure everything looks okay.
|
|
|
|
For now I will upload this roughly migrated version, to get rid of WP. Everything else ... later.
|
|
|
|
**Update:** I have integrated comments through [isso][4].
|
|
I had some issues getting the whole thing to work, but now it looks good, I think.
