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!
I've been thinking about doing more with my blog for some time now - no real post today, as I'll be working mostly on some backend work to make this possible.
