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.

|
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!

21 Achievement unlocked!

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.
