    Hello again everyone.

    After using wordpress for more than 20 years, I finally decided it was time to move off of it. I'm not really happy about the recent turmoil from the upstream wordpress folks, and I didn't think there was too much value over just moving to a static generator as so many have before me.

  • DEV Community ☛ Divine Attah-Ohiemi: Seamless Transitions: Mastering Apache Redirects for a Smooth Hugo Migration

    This week, I dove into setting up redirects with Apache to make the transition to Hugo's multilingual system smoother. The challenge? Ensuring that all those old links still worked while I migrated to the new URL format.

/es/social_contract to /social_contract.es.html
/es/intro/about to /intro/about.es.html
/da to /index.da.html
