I recently finished porting this website from a static site generator to Drupal 8, meaning that this site has now been powered by three different major versions of Drupal (6, 7 and 8) as well as by two static site generators since it was first launched in early 2010.
|
|
|
|
The majority of the content was imported using migrations from JSON feeds that I created. This included:
|
|
|
|
- Blog tags
|
|
- Blog posts
|
|
- Talks
|
|
- Redirects
|
|
|
|
In some follow-up posts, I'll be looking at each migration separately, describing any issues and look at how it was used to import its respective content.
|
|
|
|
I'll update this post with the links to the follow-up posts, and they are also available from the [blog series' page](/taxonomy/term/165).
