Migration to Zola

My BlueHost subscription was about to expire, and one of my new year resolutions is to reduce the number of subscriptions I'm paying for. So I've decided to move to a static website, and I've picked Zola a bit randomly. Mainly because it's written in Rust and I didn't want to bother with Python or Ruby for a project like this.

I've used Claude Code to quickly clean up the Markdown of my 20 years of posts, and after a bit of work, I've got this new website.

Everything is currently hosted on GitHub Pages, but I'm also reconsidering reducing my dependency on GitHub. This may be a good resolution for 2027 :-).

I also want to use Mastodon and BlueSky for the comments now. I've manually created a new entry there for BSky and one for Mastodon, I will take a look later to see how this can be automated.
