Today I moved my Blog from Googles Blogger to a static site that gets generated with Hugo. These are the approximate steps that I have done:
- download the exorted XML from back up content
- import the posts into a new Jekyll site
- import the Jekyll converted MarkDown pages into a new Hugo site with
hugo import jekyll
- run through the Hugo quickstart and verify posts
It is possible that the theme I configured
(hugo-minimalist-theme)
does not work with tags that have UPPER-case letters in them, or are set to
nil
. Some sed
commands later to make all lower-case and after removing the
tags: nil
lines, the site builds without errors.
