Well, sort of. This blog no longer runs on WordPress – at least partly because I’m evidently too lazy to track WordPress security updates. The whole site is now static; good luck finding security flaws in my HTML. Perhaps I might now even actually write something on occasion! I wouldn’t count on it, though.

The downside is that purely static files make comments hard, so for now it’s using Disqus. I don’t much like Disqus, for the same reason I dislike all JavaScript-based commenting systems: they’re unsearchable, they load slowly, and they break the “back” button.

For the curious: the site now uses Octopress (and, thus, mostly Jekyll). Each post is stored as a single Markdown file from which a page is generated. I can now blog from a text editor and a command prompt (rake new_post["slug"], rake generate and git push)! How exciting. The posts are more legible than HTML, too: see this post.

Goodbye, WordPress editor!
