Migrating from Tumblr to Jekyll

1 min read

For quite some time I have used Tumblr as my preferred blogging system. There are several things I never liked about Tumblr, and one of them is its WYSIWYG editor, which transformed what you wrote in it into intractable HTML.

I also didn’t really like the way the front page looked, so some time ago I decided to create my own front code that (among other things) linked to social networks.

I have decided to migrate to a tool that I had already used several times in Pixmat and this tool is Jekyll.

Jekyll is a static site generator made with Ruby. It allows you to generate sites that do not need an intermediate Database, from static files: written in Textile, Markdown or HTML, for example.
