A new site, built on Ghost
Published on Permalink
The below is vastly outdated. I've since moved to a static site generator called
JekyllZola. Source code is here on GitHub.
It was about time I spent some time to work on my personal site.
The old one was vastly outdated in terms of content and technologies used. I also didn't write a single blog post in at least 6 months, while there is more than enough going on in my day to day life to write about.
Anyway, here it is: my new site. Pretty much everything in the way it is served has changed.
| Previously | Now | |
|---|---|---|
| Server software | Apache | Nginx |
| Scripting language | PHP 5.3 | Node |
| CMS | WordPress | Ghost |
| Theme | Custom WordPress theme | Modified version of Uno, a Ghost theme by Dale Anthony |
| Comments | WordPress comments | Disqus |
So far I am pretty pleased with the results. Working with Ghost and writing in Markdown has been a bless so far. Also, the new site speed is just incredible.
I would love to hear your thoughts on the new site and design - love it or hate it?
PS. Maybe, just maybe, using Ghost will help me blog a little more often. I hope so.
