I have fully given up on running my own server. After 20 years of "owning" my own space online, I have finally moved everything over to running it on Github as static files. This is both far less complicated and far more interesting for this moment in time. I want to be able to manipulate all of my content via API. I want to be able to build things on top of it and pull it a whole bunch of different ways without needing Wordpress' permission to do so.
However, I did need to make sure that the full 20 years of Learning is Change was preserved, and for the most part, it is. I still need to figure out RSS feeds if I want to keep on making those work, but for now I'm pretty satisfied with the fact that after about a day of tinkering with Claude.AI, I was able to re-write the entire function of posting new content and updating all of the category, tag, yearly, and monthly archive pages while preserving silly things like breadcrumbs and navigation. This is the first post in the new format, and I think it looks rather nice.
I also can upload pictures and do fancy formatting. Because I have relied upon Wordpress for so many years, I really haven't thought about just what I could make this blog and my own writing space be. But, now that they are just dumb HTML files, I can do pretty much anything I want. Here is to the future of Learningischange.com. May it become exactly what it always should be, a reflection of who I am in this moment in time. In November 2025, I wrote over 50,000 words. (Hint: I'm The Laserdisc Leftist on this list.)
