Upping My Platform -- From WordPress to a Flat File CMS

I had been wanting to re‐platform TedCurran.net onto a flat file CMS for a long time. As much as I love Wordpress, the security risks and slow load times of a database‐driven application have real downsides compared to a modern flat file CMS like Grav.

So when I woke up this morning and saw that my site had suffered a hacker attack that had taken all my content offline, I was ready to simply rebuild the whole site from a Wordpress backup into a fully functioning Grav site in under an hour. 

You, Dear Reader, may notice some styling and content weirdness here and there due to the hasty transition, but I’m excited to keep working with this new site, explore the design and functionality possibilities it brings, and get used to a more markdown‐native writing and publishing workflow with the added security of database‐less HTML files powering my site. 

Thanks for your patience with the dust, and here’s to entering a brave new level!
