WordPress Migration

I just completed a major update to my website. Two things at once. I've moved my site from blog.andrewshell.org to andrewshell.org (dropping the subdomain) and migrated it from 11ty to WordPress.

I put a lot of effort into setting up redirects, so everything should keep working (I hate broken links). If you find I missed something, please contact me.

I have a few reasons for doing this:

First, I'm very excited about adding ActivityPub support (you can follow @andrew@andrewshell.org on Mastodon), so anything I post will hopefully show up in AP easily.

Second, I manage several WordPress sites for friends and realized I was getting rusty on my day-to-day WordPress skills.

The theme I created is still a "classic theme," which isn't what I initially planned, but good enough for now. I do a lot of microformats/indieweb stuff, and I'm not sure how much control I have over this with the block editor.

So for now, everything looks like it's in a good place while I figure out what I want to keep or change. I'm happy to be back in the WordPress ecosystem.
