I've been blogging on WordPress since 2008, unfortunately. I've found Wordpress incredibly slow, especially given the content can be made completely static. Luckily the world has taken notice, with the recent explosion of static blogging frameworks. So, why pay $110/yr for a dedicated WP provider, when you can pay $1/yr to AWS S3 $0 to host on GitHub pages?

This repo has the contents of my site as I port it to Hugo. If you like the place, feel free to use the code as an exemplar, however, the blog content is © Joe Lust 2020.

This site is hosted on GitHub Pages.
