+# Blog Relaunched
+
+For a while I was dredding to create new blog posts because it was too cumbersome for me with using _WordPress_.
+This also included keeping WordPress up to date along with the plugins and any customizations to it.
+
+A few years ago, I came across the amazing [Material for MkDocs](https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/).
+It is a technical documentation theme for [MkDocs](https://www.mkdocs.org/) with many great features.
+Documentation is written in Markdown and can be version controlled in a repository.
+This is basically "documentation as code".
+
+I first introduced it at [work](../../../projects/index.md#opal) a few years ago for various documentation sites.
+Together with _Material for MkDocs_ this has been fantastic.
+
+Since _Material for MkDocs_ has a [blog plugin](https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/plugins/blog/) I've been wanting to switch to this for a while.
+I knew that this will allow me to write blog posts more naturally (in a text editor) and treat everything as code.
+I finally got around to it and migrated my old WordPress site.
+
+It is live now :smile:.
+
+In a follow-up post I will write about the process I took to migrate everything and how it is set up.
