Baty on WordPress

Update 2023-04-10: Hilariously, Jack recently moved his blog over to Blot, because apparently he just can’t be satisfied with one setup for long. 😂

We’re back on WordPress – Baty.net

I heartily agree with Jack on this:

I need a break from using an SSG for this site. I don’t feel like fighting with go templates. I don’t feel like troubleshooting Hugo modules when they break. When I want to edit a post, I want to just click “Edit” and not have to go find the original Org-mode entry, then re-export to Markdown, then build and deploy the whole site every time. I’m in the mood to Click “Edit”->Type->Click “Publish”. I want to just drag a bunch of images into a post and have a nice gallery built for me. I want comments, stats, easy upgrades, and endless plugins for the picking.

As he say, WordPress has its fault (and foibles), but it gets a lot of things right. And my experience has been that you can have a site that is fast for you and quick for your visitors.
