I\u2019m on my sixth move in half as many years, and blogging has kind of taken a back seat with the biannual packing and unpacking.<\/div>\n<p>I\u2019ve attempted twice to switch from WordPress to a statically generated site using one of the various tools available including <a title=\"Pelican Static Site Generator\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.getpelican.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pelican<\/a>, <a title=\"Octopress Static Site Generator\" href=\"http:\/\/octopress.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Octopress<\/a>, and <a title=\"Jekyll Static Site Generator\" href=\"http:\/\/jekyllrb.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Jekyll<\/a>. I find editing blog posts online to be an impediment for some reason. When I saw that a new version of <a title=\"Blogo Blog Editor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.getblogo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Blogo<\/a> had been released at half-price, I decided to take the plunge and try it out. This is my first post with it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.insomnihack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Blogo.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-627\" src=\"http:\/\/www.insomnihack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Blogo_Thumb.png\" alt=\"Blogo 2\" width=\"400\" height=\"291\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.insomnihack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Blogo_Thumb.png 400w, http:\/\/www.insomnihack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Blogo_Thumb-300x218.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>At first, I liked it. It doesn\u2019t offer a ton of features, but that\u2019s OK. I don\u2019t expect a tool like Blogo to support all the things I can do to a post in WordPress with its vast assortment of plugins. I don\u2019t mind having to jump into WordPress for things like code snippets and other things that require plug-in functionality. It would be nice, however, if it could sync categories and tags so that they auto-fill in the post editor so that I don\u2019t have to go to my site to remember if my Python tag was capitalized or not. Getting images where I wanted them in the post, however, was frustrating.<\/p>\n<p>My first attempt to post this article was not a success.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-626\" src=\"http:\/\/www.insomnihack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Blogo_Fail-300x109.png\" alt=\"Blogo Fail\" width=\"300\" height=\"109\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.insomnihack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Blogo_Fail-300x109.png 300w, http:\/\/www.insomnihack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Blogo_Fail.png 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This was odd, because Preview worked just fine. I pinged the Blogo folks, and they asked me to try posting without images, which seemed to work. I updated the permissions on my wp-contnet\/uploads folder and tried again. This time, it got some of the images uploaded with automatically generated names, but then kind of hung there. I never did get the post fully updated, and in the end, had to drop back into WordPress to get the post finished. Its too bad. I had high hopes for Blogo 2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I haven\u2019t blogged much this last year.
