@machias importing Wordpress to was extremely painless for me. No issues at all for either the personal or business site.

Has anyone come across a Pelican SSG plug-in or a way to filter articles with Jinja2 that would allow me to filter out a single category from a template?

I suspect this is a solved problem, but I can’t come across it.

@kissane @darius If you don't "hate" wordpress check out LocalWP (localwp.com/) and Simply Static (simplystatic.com/). With that combination you can build the website locally and then create a static version to upload to the interwebs.

When I was going static to self-host it was where I fell into the rabbithole. I have since gone full Pelican SSG (getpelican.com/)

Are there any users that post a lot of images around? I was using pelican-photos up until the last release where it broke, and haven't posted much since because of the errors.

There is an open issue on their repo, but would like a couple of options so I can start updating again.

So if you use a plugin for photo managment, making galleries, multiple sizes, etc. Let me know what you think of them.

Worse case I may have to start using again and hotlink from there.

Are there any Pelican SSG users out there?

I'm trying to figure out a way to force posts dated in the future to be either hidden or draft.

Not important for my homepage, but I would like to batch write some business posts and have them drip out over time. I already have a daily task that updates the site, so everyday or so new posts should be made "public".

Rather than doing the tasks on my ordered list that I taped to my monitor last week, I decided to work on my theme and I'm pretty happy where I have it.

If you like what you see on both my homepage and work page (links in profile) then clone away -

git.jeffmackinnon.com/jeff/the

There are currently two colour styles, and I want to figure out dark mode, but for now I need to pay some bills.

@kev I’d be very interested in that post. I gave up on Wordpress last year and converted both my business and personal site to , but I’m starting to find it lacking for the business site.

Would love options. @g
