Moving from Wordpress to Github

I moved my blog from Wordpress

I have decided to deactivate my blog hosted by Wordpress. My reasons for this are:

  • Wordpress does not have MathJax enabled in the free plan. For me, this is a problem, since most of my writings requires equations.
  • Embedding Jupyter notebooks or gists is harder than in Github. Here, to embed a gist I can just write <script src="https://gist.github.com/<gist_id>.js"> </script>, and the gist appears in the page. Similarly, I can use nbviewer to embed a notebook.
  • Version control. I can version control the settings of my whole website.
  • I only need to edit markdown files.

From now, I will posting here more regularly. I will also repost some of writings from Wordpress.
