  1. I migrated from #Wordpress to #eleventy 2.5 years ago. At the time, I considered it part of the hit I was taking to lose the comments from the blog. I didn't love it but that's the way it was.

    I am now thinking about doing some kind of export of those comments and figuring out how to bring in the historical comments onto pages as read-only. I've been working with #11ty long enough to understand that it is possible. The only question is how much work and sweat and trouble will it be?

    I turned down my WP install but I never deleted the database so I have that and can transform it however I need to. There is no urgency on this. I've lived without them for years. However it might be nice to bring them back someday.

  6. @lornajane When I went from Wordpress to #eleventy it was of a similar size. It honestly wasn't that bad. I did an export and set up the basics. It was maybe a week of low level fiddling with the templates until I had them the way I wanted them, fixing some artifacts from the export that were wonky. It wasn't easy but it was straightforward.

    I have had 0 seconds of regret. I have had many moments of joy about no longer having my Wordpress install and/or server box compromised by malware. I've been delighted that when Mullenweg says something horrific that I know I no longer have involvement with his product suite.

  15. To wrap up, this incited me enough to actually do the migration *now*, spending an afternoon migrating IA Defensa over to… Eleventy.

    And that was that with Astro.

    (I actually wanted to like Astro. But I need to rant here that we need tooling that is *actually* modern and can handle minimal, production-optimized HTML, including in templates. HTML is a craft that too few master, something that doesn’t get better if our tooling prevents it from being written properly from the start. There’s enough HTML nonsense floating around and our field writes enough poor HTML that forcing superfluous HTML on developers is really the last we need. And, gah 🫠)

  25. I built a simple CMS for my website. Mainly for the dashboards, but it evolved into something so much more. It's amazing how much data you have within your blog and to visualize that data is fun.

  35. I've been struggling with the timestamps as these posts appear in the Fediverse, mainly Mastodon as pushed by Bridgy Fed. I've been fiddling with the time as it appears in these individual post pages. Nothing I did seemed to affect it.

    In frustration I followed a chain of links that ended me up at the Microformats.org page about dates and times. Turns out that all the date and time changes I was making on the visible page had nothing to do with it. I do have the visible display wrapped in an HTML <time> tag. That tag has a datetime field, and in that I had only the date and no time whatsoever.

    From Microformats:

    if the element is a del, ins, or time element, then use the element's datetime attribute value if present, otherwise its inner-text.

    So I guess that is that. I've been frustrated with Bridgy Fed but turns out as it so often is, the problem was me.
