Migrating from WordPress to Jekyll: Save Money with a Static Site

Staticman

Dynamic Content: One of WordPress’s biggest advantages is its ability to handle dynamic content like comments, forms, or membership systems. While services like Disqus or Staticman can add dynamic features like comments to Jekyll sites, they don’t offer the same level of functionality or flexibility that WordPress does. For bloggers who want more interactive features like user logins, contact forms, or complex ecommerce capabilities, WordPress may still be the better option.

Jekyll

Here I am, signing off from a self-hosted WordPress site and finding a welcome change in Jekyll, a blog-aware static site generator. There is nothing new about this, several well-known bloggers have already migrated to Jekyll in the last few years. Ever since Tom Preston Werner created this software in 2008 and published his infamous article about Blogging Like a Hacker, it has become the go-to thing for at least the small and indie bloggers.
