Blogging

Goodbye, Wordpress!

After years of using Wordpress for my blog, I've decided to move to MkDocs. Why? For few reasons...

The main reason, which made me to make that effort, is the fact, that for the last few years most of my interaction with this blog was fighting with hackers, inserting their spam, mostly gambling related stuff. I was tired of cleaning up their mess and I've decided to move to something more secure and reliable.

Giving the fact, that I'm the only author here, I don't need this huge system, anyway. So I've started looking for some alternative solution. And I've found MkDocs, a static site generator. It works in Python and generates the static pages off the source files. And it's written in a way it allows for quite a big customization. I'm using it with Material for MkDocs theme, which is very nice and customizable.

Another thing is, I've been always preferring to write my posts in Markdown.

Right now I'm still working on the customization - and of course, I'm trying to move the content. Until I'm done, some content may be missing. Note, this is a great occassion to review some old stuff, which is outdated now - and remove it.

Stay tuned!
