I recently transitioned an old #WordPress blog to static, and it's light-years better than "regular" hosting. Never going back.

@justinf I'm a #Hugo man myself. 👍 I've set up #Wordpress in the past, but it just wasn't sane enough to continue with. Why a database for a smallish number of pages (can be counted on fingers and toes)? Why all that Javascript? It made sense like 15 years ago but not today.

@d1 Nice! I happen to like WordPress, so I'm using SimplyStatic. Dev site is WP, then it converts it all to static and pushes to your host of choice. Best of both worlds.

@justinf I ran a WP site when I was freelancing but changed to a free Weebly site when I retired. Recently decided to dump that too and now have a simple html only site for my hobbies (chiefly boating). See here:

@pthane Reminds me of the simplicity of the early internet, and that's a good thing!
