-
-| I haven't done serious web development work in quite some time. There are reasons for that.
-| Mostly because I have been busy being a |sys_admin| instead...
-|
-| A reason for now doing this kind of work for myself again, is my departure from a lot of social media websites like Facebook (no, no link here).
-| The reasons for that are quite obvious, apart from the general evilness of large companies, agencies and governments alike (especially when looking at the developments in European and US-American politics in the past few months, or rather years).
-|
-| After some changes in my hosting plans (moving away from |hosteurope| to |nwsec|, but more on that soon), this also involved dividing private content from that of the association (|frqrec|) I am working with.
-|
-| Ultimately this led me to the decision to find a publishing tool that was not depending on a database setup (like |wordpress| is), but rather something text file based (also because I am a daily |vim| user).
-| Say hello to |pelican|, a Python based static website generator!
-| With Pelican one can write content in |markdown| or |restructuredtext| and have simple |pelican-themes|) and the site generator take care of the rest. Pretty awesome! A separate |makefile| (besides the easy possibility of local testing) makes it possible to push a new website version directly to the webserver or other destinations.
-| Currently I've started work on some static pages and my own theme, cloned from the |notmyidea-theme|. Now my whole website can be conveniently developed in my own |website-git| repository.
-|
-| Although for newbie users a login backend for administering a website (like the one Wordpress offers) is a very easy solution, it also introduces security issues (bad passwords, hacked computers & malware, PHP bugs, bad content, bad plugins, etc.).
-| I'm glad I've found a very lightweight and fast solution in Pelican, that works well with |nginx|.
