In this post, I will give my two cents on migrating a programming blog from Wordpress1 to Jekyll2, namely I will list and detail the main steps I took for migrating Codepedia.org.
Why?
Well, there were pains - I was experiencing performance issues (caused mainly by memory shortages on a 4GB machine) with the virtual private server from GoDaddy, where I used to host both Podcastpedia.org and Codepedia.org. Codingpedia was developed initially with Wordpress1, which I still think is a great tool, if you want to quickly start a blog and don’t have programming experience, but it kinda requires a LAMP2 stack, which it’s kinda performance killer from a number of visitors forward. Of course you can always add more hardware to support the website, but that has a limit too. Limited was also the budget I was ready to spend on hosting, by today’s standards.
