With this post, I can say that I have successfully completed moving my website from GatsbyJS to Hugo and in the process did some neat things with it. First off, a quick note about why Gatsby wasn’t quite right for this website. The last move was from Jekyll to Gatsby and a lot of what originally drove that transition was getting away from Ruby and starting to investigate decoupled websites as it related to Drupal which I use for work. Well, though I got away from Ruby when it came to this website, I still maintain other Jekyll sites and old Drupal themes built on top of Ruby, so it is still a part of my life. When it came to investigating decoupled websites, I learned that I shouldn’t bring my work home. At least for the short term, that kind of work and investigation has been postponed at work and without the need at home, I wasn’t motivated to dive into it on my own time. Gatsby is a very versatile tool, but this website doesn’t need all of that. ...

Jekyll has served me well for several years, but I am interested in trying something new. GastbyJS has caught my attention because it uses Node instead of Ruby which is what I have been using for work and Gastby has plugins that integrate with Drupal, something I might look into later. The first step has been to migrate and familarize myself with Gatsby. To aid in this, I am using a starter kit that works with Netlify and Forestry. ...
