Migration Completed

OK, I have migrated this blog from Jekyll to hugo. It was a very smooth and simple process.

The main reason for migrating away from Jekyll is I am fed up with it. It needs to establish an entire Ruby environment in order to use it. Like you want to drive a car but you need to build a factory to manufacture the car you want to drive.

Another thing is, I can never figure out how to run the site locally. It just splits out errors. Hugo and even mdbook works flawlessly.

I want to keep the git history of my repo, so my first step is to move everything to a sub-directory called old_sites.

• Then initial it with

hugo new site . --force

• Move the old posts to content/posts

• Move the old graphics to static/images

• Update a few links from /assets/images/ to images

That is pretty much it.

A bonus is that I don’t need to prepend 中文 titles with an underscore _. The reason is that, for I don’t know why, if the Title meta data in Jekyll does not start with an alphanumeric charector, it does not display correctly.

The theme is very minimal as a result of my following of the quick start.
