After months of trying to find space I was finally able to write my own ghost CMS to Obsidian conversion tool. I wanted to move my blog off of a DO droplet to save some money but also needed to make sure that I had all my data before saying bye-bye to the server. I thought this task would only take me a month but ya know...life happens and I got pulled into other things mostly dealing with balancing my career and hobby.
Anyway now that I got inspired to get this done by writing code and figuring out small details I think I'm ready to publish to the world. Luckily this blog only had ~60 post. Other blogs that I'm looking at migrating are probably bigger than that. This was a nice test as I work on cleaning up my project before posting on github as well as figuring out some gotchas.
Things I noticed:
- Some of my titles were different because of the things obsidian lets you put in file names
- I'm missing images (I didn't realize I used non-url images)
- Ghost never really added tags to post so I have to go back and add them

P.S. Thanks for holding me down while I got the blog back. This was fun!
