Wordpress is giving me headache.
Ever since I started my own server I used Wordpress. It is not a bad
platform, in fact it is very nice. With modern lightweight theme it can be a
breeze to use.
But it is heavy. It is a lot of code in a language I do not really like
(php). And it does a lot of things that I do not need. For what I use it is
becoming to heavy and to ... difficult.
I write an article every so often. Nothing special, it's just a blog. I do
not get much comments if any. I do not write for comments, it's more about
my external memory. Do I even need comments?
I like photos. I like to ad photos to my articles. They fit nicely into
"external memory" concept.
Built in editor is slow. All the code in the WordPress is making it slow. My
server is not a high end machine so it does not really fly with it. And
articles are saved in a database ...
A lightweight system. On disk files instead of database for storage, maybe
markdown formating.
And this is where Gemini fits in nicely.
Not sure yet. Let's see how things work out. I have a Gemini server
up-and-running and will keep creating the content. Maybe I will even migrate
my old articles here.
For now no. WordPress with all its problems, remains.
