ABSTRACT

A lazy solution is to leave the old website as is, start a new website with a new domain, and provide a link to the old website. Usually, it is easier to start a new website than migrating an old one to a new framework, but people may have to do it anyway because of the useful content on the old website that should not simply be discarded. A lazy solution is to leave the old website as is, start a new website with a new domain, and provide a link to the old website. The bad news is that there is unlikely to be a universal or magical solution, there are some helper functions in blogdown as well as a Shiny application, which may make it a little easier for people to migrate from Jekyll and WordPress sites. When converting a Jekyll website to Hugo, the most challenging part is the theme.
