Site Upgrade

This site is currently using blot.im to generate the pages via markdown files in my Obsidian vault.

blot.im is run by one guy though and I’m not a big fan of being reliant on a single person for this. There are a bunch of things I don’t like about my current workflow that I’d like to change. Not to mention quite a few bugs with the site that are pissin’ me the feck off.

So I’d like to whip up my own custom solution using Hugo, but that’ll be a project that takes a couple of days (minimum). This will also give me an opportunity to ditch the root wordpress site (randy.gg) and merge it in with this blog, which would be so much better.

The thing that’s holding me back from this at the moment is the WordPress plugin that I use to send out my changelogs as emails via MailChimp.

I will need to figure out a markdown to html conversion workflow and submit that to my new mailing provider’s API (MailerLite) before I can make the switch.

A few moving parts here to consider. I’ll get around to it when I’ve got the free time, probably after this next game-b. If you’ve got any experience with this, or can point me in the right direction of some resources I’d love to hear from ya -

Cheers!
