Migrating From Wordpress To Jekyll

    Has anyone on here attempted/done it before? How'd it go? I'm thinking about migrating my blog from Wordpress to Jekyll, hosting it on S3 and using MaxCDN or Cloudfront as a content delivery network.

    That way I'd be gzipped, static files from multiple locations all around the globe making it extremely fast.

    I'm mainly worried about 404 errors and how to 301 redirect large amounts of pages.

    I've found a few good tutorials online but I'm wondering if anyone else has any good tips before I go ahead with it.

    I have never used Jekyll so there is nothing to say about it. For creating mass 301 redirection you can use free online tool which can be found at http://websiteadvantage.com.au/HtAccess-301-Redirect-Generator#heading-ToolResult

    i am hearing for the first time about this cms or tool called Jekyll. i read the description on git. it looks like its ruby based rendering engine which converts dynamic ruby server side into client side html like the asp.net engine does. Correct me if i am wrong.

    I did it! Completely re-designed my website and now it's built using Jekyll. Hosting it on Amazon's S3 and using CloudFront as a CDN. It's blazingly fast!
