Migration from WordPress to Jekyll
Aug 18, 2011 - 2 minutesWhile I love WordPress - I think it was a bit of overkill for what I was doing on this blog so I converted everything to Jekyll, and threw all my images up on Amazon’s S3. I’ve also migrated all the comments over to Disqus.
One of the problems I ran into was getting the URLs to map the same; the _config.yml that worked for me was:
1pygments: true
2markdown: rdiscount
3permalink: /:year/:month/:title
4paginate: 10And then to get my /apps/ working again I made a directory structure like this:
1apps//bluebug:
2BlueBug.zip index.markdown
3
4apps//greenmail:
5index.markdown
6
7apps//light_logify:
8index.markdown
9
10apps//pyultradns:
11index.markdown
12
13apps//quote-of-the-day-tweeter:
14index.markdown
15
16apps//rails_rrdtool:
17index.markdown
18
19apps//server-setup-fu:
20index.markdown
21
22apps//servly:
23index.markdown
24
25apps//ventrilo-ping-analyzer:
26index.markdownSome nice helper scripts I’ve found:
Creating a new post

3# Script to create a jekyll blog post using a template. It takes one input parameter
4# which is the title of the blog post
5# e.g. command:

10# Some constants
11TEMPLATE = "template.markdown"
12TARGET_DIR = "_posts"
13
14# Get the title which was passed as an argument
15title = ARGV[0]
16# Get the filename
17filename = title.gsub(' ','-')
18filename = "#{ Time.now.strftime('%Y-%m-%d') }-#{filename.downcase}.markdown"
19filepath = File.join(TARGET_DIR, filename)
20
21# Create a copy of the template with the title replaced
22new_post = File.read(TEMPLATE)
23new_post.gsub!('TITLE', title);
24
25# Write out the file to the target directory
26new_post_file = File.open(filepath, 'w')
27new_post_file.puts new_post
28new_post_file.close
