I’ve updated this blog to use Astro, a Node.js-based static site generator. Hosting has also changed to GitHub Pages.

Benefits

• The blog no longer runs on an ancient version of Orchard that I’m afraid to touch.
• Free and reliable hosting for a static site on GitHub Pages.
• Secured with HTTPS. Browsers will flag non-HTTPS sites as insecure.
• General cleanup of content. Decades of different authoring tools (remember Windows Live Writer?), blog engines, domains, and hosts left a trail of broken images and badly formatted HTML. I vibe-coded a migration tool to convert HTML to Markdown and do its best to fix broken images and links.
• Gain experience with Astro. We (Aspire team) are using it to build aspire.dev.
• If I ever blog again, I can do it from the comfort of Markdown files in a Git repository.
