Migrating to Publii

I've had a number of homes on the Interweb since I first fired up my 9,600bps modem and logged into various BBS.  Over the years I've gravitated towards WordPress because it's free, I can host it myself and there tons of plugins to make my life easier.

 

But I've started to notice that my productivity is dropping, and I spend more time formatting text, faffing with layouts and fuming over needing plugins & embed codes.  To speak plainly, WordPress simply does not fit into my style of blogging / writing anymore.

 

Don't get me wrong, I've had a blast renting a server, installing WordPress via CPanel and generally playing with webhosting via HostGator (who have offered excellent service and great priced hosting) - but my life has changed and I guess at 47, I've grown up a bit.  Just because I can do something technically doesn't mean that I've got the mind set to get the most from the technology, after all, it's not my day job.  (I pay  approximately  $130 per year to rent my server, and run 12 web sites from it - nice set up really - I'll keep the technology)

 

So I went looking for a solution that allows me to focus on writing (from multiple PC's, laptops and tablet devices) without having to concentrate on the technicalities.

 

I'm a big fan of Evernote - been using the professional version for about 5 years now. I store all my professional and personal notes there. I want to write the blog contents in Evernote and move to the blogging platform later.

 

WordPress is great - but the themes tend to be bloated and somewhat slow. I wanted a static blog - that is, the pages are stored as html - not in a back end database. So I chose Publii - download, enter some server details and off you go.

 

So now to migrate / find / curate all my content from over the years and move them to the new platform.
