Finally, I have completed a pretty tricky exercise that I had started about a couple of weeks back. It wasn’t tricky because I wanted to move my website to a different platform. It was tricky because I wanted to do it cleanly. I wanted to retain as many things that worked well for me as... amitgawande.com

@amit What?! Back to Wordpress? You were the last person I would’ve expected to ditch Blot and go back to WordPress.

@amit Looking good, and I'll echo @bix - the sun/moon for day/night mode is a nice touch. Yes, WordPress can be heavy and clunky but it still has a lot going for it and the ecosystem is deep. Glad the move went well.

@pratik Yeah, even I wasn’t sure till about a week back. But as I said, I was just tired of getting custom for myself — working things out myself. And the biggest pain point was I didn’t want to look for that one editor every time I wanted to write. Or edit. WordPress was an easy decision then.

@bix Thank you, Bix. However, can’t take the full credit for that. Referred to a couple of guides and themes that supported dark mode. Got it working to my liking.

@colinwalker Thank you, Colin. I spent a good couple of weeks experimenting with WordPress. I had long stopped using it as a platform. So just wanted to make sure I am ok with baggage. I am ok with that after all, because the pros are many. Completely agree with you. Stable and ecosystem are a huge advantage.

@pratik Oh didnt I mention? I self-hosted the instance. .com was too limiting for my itchy mind 😬

@amit Nice. So you did go the whole hog. Yeah, if you really wanna tweak it to your heart’s content, custom hosting is the way to go. I used to host at Tiger Tech. Excellent hosting service.

I hear ya about writing on the spur of the moment or even editing it. Blot unfortunately can be limiting that way. I’m still trying to find the sweet spot between convenience and control.

@cdevroe Oh, I didn’t realize that would happen. Extremely sorry for the flood of webmentions. Wonder if I could have avoided them in some manner?
