Goodbye WordPress - Hello Jekyll
I recently came across the WordPress drama and realized I don’t need any CMS for features for a basic blog. I moved all of my content to Jekyll which is a static website powered by Ruby. I took advantage of the move, and moved away from my old host to get some experience with Vercel.
Pros so far:
- Being a static site, it’s very fast:

- I set up a Github Dev Container with all the extensions/scripts I need to create my content from anywhere,
- Simple markdown, and HTML means I focus more on content than formatting,
- Zero hosting setup due to Vercel
I tend to focus on perfection over progress, which often leads to unfinished drafts. With this new platform, I hope to prioritize content creation and share more posts consistently.
