For me, I’m torn between Mushoku Tensei (very good worldbuilding) and Uncle From Another World (has the better direction)

    Unrelated to isekai, but I saw from your site that you migrated from Wordpress to Hugo. What method did you use to do that? I have an old wordpress site that I keep running for somebody, but it isn’t actively updated anymore. If I could convert that to static html and host it using something like github pages, that would be awesome. I looked into it once before, but there were a bunch of different plugins and methods, so the inertia of not doing it won out.

      too much detail; leading up to the findings that follow

      Looking at the git lot, it looks like it was in 2018. I don’t remember, and it’s not documented that thoroughly in the commit messages log. Looks like I had content pages in Joomla, and the blog in Wordpress.

      I may have exported the content via a plugin, or separate tool that reads from the database, did exported from the DB myself. I certainly did some mass-fixups via text search and replace. (I can recommend VS Code for that.)

      Unfortunately, I had other projects that I migrated, so I can’t remember which one I did what. :)

      Now that I know the date, this is the migration blog post

      I used content exporters to export the Joomla pages and Wordpress pages and blog posts into markdown content files for hugo.

      Unfortunately, it’s not more specific than “content exporter into markdown”. But who knows if those specific ones would still be available today. :)

      So I would suggest to use any Markdown exporter that’s available now.

        Thanks for the info! I am just going to have to test some things and see how it goes. My wordpress site has quite a number of image galleries, so I’ll probably have to do some experimenting to see how those work.

          I kept the images under the urls as they were. They’re probably still under wp_content :D That way it’s not too hard to migrate.

          I don’t think I implemented anything for image galleries though.
