EN TW JP

For time-saving and better control reasons, I decided to merge few other blogs into this one. They were hosted on Google’s blogger. Here are some lessons I learned during the migration. Hope this helps.

Key points:

  1. Use jekyll-import to import articles
  2. Due to the different URL formats, I use jekyll-redirect-from to redirect the old paths to the correct ones. This plugin is being supported by Github Pages
  3. Redirect some Blogger’s feature path to proper pages, for examples：
    • /search/label/NAME (article tagged with certain label)
    • /2020/02、/2020/02/ (archives by year)

The vanilla Jekyll didn’t come with label pages by default, I built the tag page base on this article: https://blog.lunarlogic.io/2019/managing-tags-in-jekyll-blog-easily/
