Moving to Pelican

I launched this blog 18 years ago as a Django 1.0 site. 9 years ago, I relaunched the site as a Lektor site, as that was what I was using for BeeWare’s website.

It seems like very nine years, I am scheduled to rebuild my blog on a new platform, because I’ve just moved this site to be hosted on Pelican. Unlike the switch to Lektor, this isn’t driven by maintaining parity with BeeWare’s tools - when I mentioned I was thinking about migrating my blog to MkDocs or Zensical (to match BeeWare), a close friend chastised me, and told me to Just Use Pelican. So I did.

During the Lektor refresh, I mentioned that I was hoping to give the site a visual refresh “in the near future”. This remains an aspirational goal.
