We're using Ghost again

Here's a thing I've learned about myself: I'll work on something until it's twisted and tweaked into a shape I'm perfectly happy with. Then, just when I've got the process nailed, I switch to something entirely different.

For example, I've been dialing in my Hugo blog here at baty.net for a while now. I have an Org-mode to Hugo workflow that is smooth as butter. I successfully integrated my "daily posts" into the main blog. It got to the point where the only thing left to do was write...so yesterday I moved the whole thing to Ghost. Ok, not the whole thing. I've still got a bunch of old content to bring over, but yeah, I switched blogging platforms again for no good reason.

Why Ghost? It's fast, clean, looks good, and the editor is miles ahead of everything else (other than emacs, of course). I wish it wasn't so focused on "Turn your audience into a business" but I can work around that for now.

I know I shouldn't do this, but it's so fun I can't help it. I've dusted off my old theme, tweaked a few things, and here we are. I think it looks nice.

This will be fun for a while, but I'll switch back to Hugo once the novelty wears off.
