Apologies for not getting back to the email. I had been meaning to, but I have been trying to move my site and have discovered that, to my horror, WordPress “upgraded” the “save as plain text” Markdown entries I’d been carefully generating for years so I could migrate off WP if I wanted to (and I do). (For Deirdre.net, which is currently offline pending my finishing the migration, among others)

See: https://twitter.com/deirdresm/status/1297307526057222144

WP fucking HTML/XMLified supposed text entries in a way that can’t easily be undone without a fucking JavaScript app to unfuxxor it, and that broke another app I contribute to (that has a Node app as a feeder piece).

Worse, the entire database historically was upgraded, and far enough back there’s just no point in trying to dig back that far.

Anyhow, I have the data, but I’ve been focused on a wee install problem. At least I got all the Debian upgrades done. \o/

Worse, this has involved longer-than-average spells of sitting upright, and that’s not working very well at the moment (because POTS, the postural orthostatic kind).

For now, I’m going to keep it on WordPress while I work on the Node/JS issue, because I want richer data out than the export tool I had was giving me, so I need to tweak it. WordPress has actually been a disincentive against blogging for about two years, and it irks me.
