## Why Jekyll

The most compelling reason was because it is supported by Github. There are a number of ohter features that were appealing to me though:

+ Site generator instead of CMS or bloated app.
+ Means that it can literally be hosted anywhere, and be lightning fast.

I used pandoc to clean up the output by converting my HTML to markdown - this actually worked pretty good.

The biggest problem was that my blog had already been up for a few years and was indexed by google and referenced on a number of places on the internet. I needed to keep my old links from 404ing or else i'd lose all the visibility my blog had gained. This was actually pretty easy - I just used some sed hackery plus the 'jekyll-redirect-from' gem and was able to redirect from pretty much any link that already existed to my blog.
