Moving away from WordPress – important* info
When I started this blog in 2017, I picked WordPress almost at random, just so I could get started with something. And it has worked well enough.
But:
- it’s not cheap
- it’s a pain to make layout adjustments
- the post editor is clunky and sluggish
- WordPress.com sites are at least partially hosted in the US.
Because my blog is essentially a static website (comments section aside), I’ve decided to switch to a static site generator (Eleventy/Build Awesome) and a fully European web hosting provider (statichost.eu), which offers a free tier for small sites like mine.
How this might affect you
If you follow the blog, this will be the last post you’ll be notified about. After that, there will be:
- no more email updates
- no more WordPress notifications
- no more Mastodon cross-posting.
If you still want to hear from me
The transponderings blog is not dead, and I do plan to post from time to time (when my AuDHD brain allows!).
You will be able to:
- visit transponderings.blog as before
- follow/discuss/support the blog on Ko-fi
- follow the blog and get notifications using an RSS newsreader.
Thank you so much for supporting my blog. ☺️
