Static

2025-02-03

I’ve migrated this site from a Django powered website to a simpler static site. I’ve also let go of josephmadsen.com in favor of the url you navigated to in order to read this riveting post about how I changed the back-end of my site.

I plan to continue using Django for projects, it just seemed like overkill to run my simple blog with it. I enjoy the “handmade” aspect of creating a static site. It really illuminates the fact that websites are really just directories and files sitting on a publicly accessible computer.

I did write a little html generator script to speed up certain parts of the process. It’s not nearly as robust as some of the static site generator options out there, but it does what I want it to do without any bloat.
