I wrote recently about moving my blog from Wordpress to an Azure Static Site.
Azure Static Web Apps have now moved out of Preview and are now generally available. A free tier has been announced which is great for personal blogs.
I’ve moved from WordPress to an Azure Static website built with Hugo. The conversion, including grooming all my old posts and a special setup for my free courses took up most of my personal time for a week (including a 4 day weekend).
Here’s why I made the change. I’ll also share the basic components I chose for my site, the tools and steps I used in the conversion, and some lessons learned from the implementation.
