What should I do about the blogs?

I'm pretty happy with my new Emacs->Hugo->CopingMechanism.com setup. But that leaves Baty.net stranded. What would you do, go back to Hugo on the original Blog or abandon it and keep posting only at the new one? I'd love just one place, and Baty.net is "established", but I don't feel much like converting it back to Hugo again.

I've decided to stay at baty.net and bail on copingmechanism.com. I'm using the new theme and folder layout, but it's running at baty.net.

@jbaty Do you want to maintain the two separate identities? Or can you just 301 and call it a day for now? 🫣

@anders I don't know! 😄. I would just let the baty.net blog idle, probably, and focus my attention on the new one. I don't love that idea, either, though.

@jbaty@social.lol @anders@merveilles.town you could leave baty.net up with a final post pointing to the new one and kist carry on there? Or import the posts and have a redirect?
I hate changing blogs over, I've broken so much search engine history of my sites by doing it.

@eltheanine @anders Yes, I need to either start fresh at the new one, or move back to baty.net. Right now I'm leaning toward just moving baty.net back to hugo with the new theme. Would feel nice to start fresh somewhere new, though.

@jbaty@social.lol @anders@merveilles.town I do love a fresh start.

I'm always impressed when I discover another long standing blog though. I can only strive to be that disciplined.

@eltheanine @jbaty I’ve deleted everything in mine and started over multiple times! I have no shame. Git has the original files if for some ungodly reason I feel the urge to bring them back (but I doubt it).
