# WordPress
|
|
Wordpress is giving me headache.
|
|
|
|
Ever since I started my own server I used Wordpress. It is not a bad
|
|
platform, in fact it is very nice. With modern lightweight theme it can be a
|
|
breeze to use.
|
|
|
|
But it is heavy. It is a lot of code in a language I do not really like
|
|
(php). And it does a lot of things that I do not need. For what I use it is
|
|
becoming to heavy and to ... difficult.
|
|
|
|
## How I use WordPress
|
|
|
|
I write an article every so often. Nothing special, it's just a blog. I do
|
|
not get much comments if any. I do not write for comments, it's more about
|
|
my external memory. Do I even need comments?
|
|
|
|
I like photos. I like to ad photos to my articles. They fit nicely into
|
|
"external memory" concept.
|
|
|
|
Built in editor is slow. All the code in the WordPress is making it slow. My
|
|
server is not a high end machine so it does not really fly with it. And
|
|
articles are saved in a database ...
|
|
|
|
## What would I like?
|
|
|
|
A lightweight system. On disk files instead of database for storage, maybe
|
|
markdown formating.
|
|
|
|
And this is where Gemini fits in nicely.
|
|
|
|
## Will I switch?
|
|
|
|
Not sure yet. Let's see how things work out. I have a Gemini server
|
|
up-and-running and will keep creating the content. Maybe I will even migrate
|
|
my old articles here.
|
|
|
|
For now no. WordPress with all its problems, remains. |
