Discovering the Former “The New Leaf Journal”

I learned some time ago that there was a former thenewleafjournal.com. Today, we examine our domain name predecessor.

I volunteered to help my local bonsai club migrate their website from Squarespace 7.0 to 7.1.

Before recommending any options, I needed to know what was actually on the site.

So I did the only rational thing: I wrote a script that scraped every page, categorized the content, and generated an inventory of what would need attention during the migration.

I took over the administration of the Karate Dojo's web presence. I received all the credentials and a while ago I checked the hosting, the websites (because there are two...?) and the domains. It is all very chaotic and was done by non-tech folks, which is fine. It just needs cleaning up (domains + hosting).
The website itself should be done from scratch.

Currently the dojo has two live websites.
A v1 which is from a jurassic age without responsive styles, and a v2 which is only halfway-done and stuck in a walled-garden called #Squarespace (which is charging more than 240€ per year lol). The v1 website is hosted by #1blu who is also charging insane hosting prices (about 180€ per year). These websites are static and I believe it should not cost this much.

I spent some time thinking and decided to go with Astro SSG for the new Karate Dojo website 🤔 hosting will be done through Forgejo Pages and at a later point in time I want to implement Decap CMS which will run through Forgejo Runners 🤔
The new website will also have a Nextcloud calendar and a Mastodon feed. 🤓
The idea is that money will only be spent for domains since hosting static websites, through Forgejo Pages, is free (as it should be in today's day and age!)
Killing off the old websites will be an annual saving of more than 400€

Let's see how it goes. Squarespace renewal is set for November, so that will be the deadline ✊🏽

Ayup! Here we are again. I’ve just migrated my site back to WordPress, following a whole month on Squarespace. Round and round we go.
