Short version: New blog URL, engine and layout. |

Long version: For a long time already, I've been thinking about using a static |
|
|
|
|
blog generator. Not that there is anything wrong with dynamic blog engines (and |
|
|
|
|
I'm a long time [WordPress](https://wordpress.org/) user, without any issues, |
|
|
|
|
specially since my hosting company -- [Dreamhost](http://www.dreamhost.com/) -- |
|
|
|
|
offers easy updates), but... I don't know, I think it's easy to automate some |
|
|
|
|
stuff when all you have are basic files, with no API to talk to. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So, here it is. A new blog URL, so all old posts are still visible in their |
|
|
|
|
original paths (although this will be a problem in the future when I decide to |
|
|
|
|
launch a 4.0 blog, but that's a problem for the future); a new engine, as |
|
|
|
|
WordPress is not static, so I decided to go with |
|
|
|
|
[Pelican](http://blog.getpelican.com/), simply because I know Python (I know |
|
|
|
|
there is a huge community for [Jekyll](http://jekyllrb.com/), but I'm not a |
|
|
|
|
Ruby guy and I don't want to be a Ruby guy); and finally a new layout, as I |
|
|
|
|
took everything I've been playing with [Zurb |
|
|
|
|
Foundation](http://foundation.zurb.com/) and, since I'd automagically gain a |
|
|
|
|
responsive layout, I did just that. And yes, the |
|
|
|
|
[theme](https://bitbucket.org/juliobiason/pelican-fancy-foundation) is my |
|
|
|
|
creation -- and that's why there is a bunch of broken stuff. I'll be fixing |
|
|
|
|
them in the future, as I see them -- or someone reports them to me. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PS: There is actually a hidden thing, some [things I don't want to deal |
|
|
|
|
again](http://juliobiason.net/2008/02/23/why-half-life-2-failed/), which could |
|
|
|
|
probably crippling me in what to write (hence why the content was so dull and |
|
|
|
|
boring in the last few months). Because static blogs don't have comments, I may |
|
|
|
|
feel fine in finally discussing them. |
