The alternative title for this article was "The FrankenBlog: It
Lives!". You'll see why "FrankenBlog" in a minute.
The idea here was to convert my website and blog over to use
Pollen, Matthew Butterick's
marvellous Racket-based authoring system. The main reason for wanting
to do that is that I have a couple of longer-form writing projects in
mind, and Pollen gives much more flexibility than writing in Markdown
or something similar.
Starting a new blog with Pollen is easy. Unfortunately, I had some
history I wanted to preserve, some new ideas I wanted to try, and a
whole row of yaks lined up waiting for a shave.
