I haven’t been posting on this blog because the setup that I had been using to generate the HTML files had bit-rotted. Originally, the blog was built in the Python-based static site generator Nikola but the theme setup that I had created did not survive a migration to another computer. In addition, I was having trouble uploading the generated site to the web host at qsl.net.
Since last year, I’ve been building websites for various projects using Jekyll, primarily because of its integration with GitHub’s Pages, which provides free and automatic hosting for websites created with Jekyll. To get this blog back on track, I’ve ported it over to Jekyll so I can continue working with the tool that I’m familiar with.
Some things haven’t been transferred over yet, particularly the stylesheets, but I am excited to get back to writing here.
