| bgneal@9 | 9 I've rebooted my blog with Pelican_! I've been wanting to refresh the look of |
| bgneal@9 | 10 my blog for some time. Blogofile_ has been very good to me, but there seems to |
| bgneal@9 | 11 be more activity in the Pelican world, including lots of nice themes. So I took |
| bgneal@9 | 12 a few evenings and played around with Pelican. After seeing how configurable it |
| bgneal@9 | 13 is and that I could easily keep the existing URLs (at least the important ones) |
| bgneal@9 | 14 from my Blogofile blog I decided to convert. |
| bgneal@9 | 15 |
| bgneal@9 | 16 I wrote a script to convert my posts to the format Pelican expected. This was |
| bgneal@9 | 17 quite easy as they both accept reStructuredText_ and mostly involved updating |
| bgneal@9 | 18 the metadata that appears at the top of each post. I found the cool `Pelican |
| bgneal@9 | 19 Bootstrap 3 theme`_ by Daan Debie. I even submitted a pull request for it to |
| bgneal@9 | 20 update how it does pagination. This was my first pull request on GitHub! |
| bgneal@9 | 21 Achievement unlocked! |
| bgneal@9 | 22 |
| bgneal@9 | 23 I look forward to writing some more blog posts with this platform. I plan on |
| bgneal@9 | 24 updating the Fabric_ file with a command to produce a skeleton post template. |
