This article is a stub. You can help the microformats.org wiki by expanding it.
This page is to keep track (project management) of a 2024 microformats.org blog redesign including moving from WordPress to something based on static files in order to drastically reduce admintax and potential for future vulnerabilities/compromises.
Goals
Preservation:
- All existing blog posts remain
- Ideally at their existing permalinks, or at least redirecting from current permalinks to new permalinks
- Preserve custom inline HTML and styles in blog posts
- Preserve existing styling and presentation of blog posts and aggregation pages in general
Future:
- Able to add new blog posts occasionally (this only happens around once a year at this point)
Maintenance:
- As little dynamic server code as possible to reduce the chances of vulnerabilities
Non-goals
- Another dynamic CMS that requires frequent software updates
- Redesigning the look and feel of the blog
- Preserving WordPress user accounts / identities (ok to replace with another identity system, IndieAuth, GitHub etc.)
Types of pages
Pages (URLs) to preserve:
- Blog top level index: https://microformats.org/blog
- 99 blog post permalinks: e.g. https://microformats.org/2022/02/19/how-to-consume-microformats-2-data
- Month pages: e.g. https://microformats.org/2018/06
- Tag pages: e.g. https://microformats.org/tag/microformats2
Options
Static site generator built on GitHub Actions
- Port the site to some sort of SSG that can be built on GitHub
- Deploy the static built files to the server
Simple PHP templates
Similar to oauth.net, use simple PHP templating for the pages. (example source file)
Static HTML archive
- Archive all pages as static HTML, including month pages and tag pages
- New blog post pages would exist entirely outside of the static archive
Switch entire site to MediaWiki
- MediaWiki already running at
/wiki; update it to run at/; would need to add redirects so existing wiki permalinks keep working - Port blog posts into wiki pages (may be issues preserving custom inline HTML and styles in blog posts?)
