I've re-read my oldest "personal website as guy who does conversion optimization" blog post ever, and found it migration-worthy.

It's from 2019 and it's on the extremely hot topic of "Dealing with pressure to call tests early."

It's on a technical topic, but really it's all about empathy. I'm proud of it.

"Migration" consists of:

1. Copying the .md file from my old website repository into the appropriate folder
2. Updating the front matter

On point #2–the "before" looks like this:

---
layout: post
title: "Dealing with pressure to call tests early (1/3)"
date: "2019-05-06"
categories: ["Web strategy"]
---

and the "after" looks like this:

{:title "Dealing with pressure to call tests early (1/3)"
 :layout :post}

I don't think I'll be using categories on this blog, so no need to carry that over. And Cryogen pulls the date from the filename, so that's redundant.

Therefore, the total effort involved is about 12 keystrokes. I'm in no hurry to automate this; instead I'll just treat migrating the next several posts as Vimgolf practice.

If I spend any time on technical stuff in the near future, it'll be on blog styling. This out-of-the-box Cryogen theme uses Bootstrap, which I'd love to kill. And I set the font to monospace in an effort to be a hipster minimalist, but I have to say the default monospace font in Chrome/Firefox/Vivaldi ("Menlo-Regular") looks kinda terrible. So I'll be working on that, a bit at a time.
