This is what it took me to migrate from WordPress to Jekyll:
- Import blog using the wordpressdotcom importer.
- Use Disqus WP plugin to export comments into Disqus.
- Generate static pages (include Disqus code in Jekyll template).
- Add search functionality.
- Add personal pages (about/search/rss).
Done! (A preview is available here.)
Update:
- Adding tags was a lot more effort. A little help from this gist saved the day.
- Adding pages for year, month and day was a ton more effort. I modified archive.rb from josegonzalez and also customized his _layout/archive_*.html
- Added an error handler with some JS to show my own custom error page.
