I'm still tinkering with WordPress. My goal is to get the migration itself done by Easter, although there will be a ton of tweaking to be done afterwards.
The backend code for the server is pretty much done - I'm at the point where I occasionally add bells and whistles for some corner cases. The majority of my time now is spent on working with WordPress, which is a rabbit hole just as deep as the server/hosting issue.
I've updated my backend code - I think I'm very close to finishing it, at least for the time being. https://github.com/naclhv/wordpress-simplified Much of the remaining effort will be to actually move everything into WordPress.
I'm working on migrating my blog - here's just a proof-of-concept: https://192.53.126.26/ The process will probably continue for several weeks to come.
I'm making good progress - I feel like I should have something to show for it by next week. Meanwhile, I published an old "Frozen" fanfic that I wrote back when the first movie came out, in an effort to consolidate all my works onto this blog.
A good deal of my time last week was spent on the "gamestonk" situation, which I wrote a post about. That does mean that the backend work got pushed back. But I've made some good progress!
