Hi, Hexo

Before We Start

My first memory of building a website was probably 2017.6.18

At 14, I stumbled into contact with “virtual hosting” by chance.

Back then, the most popular option was Hostu's free hosting, and for the domain I used the free Kuaile second-level domain distribution service. That was how my first little corner of the internet was born.

The system evolved from Emlog --> Zblog --> Typecho

During that time, I also came across Mix Space , developed by innei (the guy is really amazing).

Before I knew it, I had been using Typecho for as long as 5 years. During that period, because of server data loss, the recovery was rather messy, and I gradually transformed the site several times.

I changed several templates, but the most memorable one was undoubtedly 友人C's handsome

Later on, I grew aesthetically tired of it and got sick of the three-column layout, so I switched to 山卜方's Pigeon

I had known about static blogs like Hexo for a long time, but I never really tried them. After all, making major changes and migrating is quite troublesome.

Migration

Articles

As for the articles, there aren't many of them nowadays, so I chose to migrate them to Hexo “manually” by copying and pasting, and adapting them to Hexo's format in one go.

Comments

Because I initially used Typecho's native comment system, and my current Hexo uses Twikoo, with the server side deployed on Vercel, I cleaned up some spam comments and then used the Typecho to Twikoo migration script to migrate the remaining comments.

Theme

For the blog theme, I used the Butterfly theme. It has a solid ecosystem, a clean style, and high customizability. Referring to tutorials from those who came before me, I heavily customized it according to my own preferences. As you can see, this is what it currently looks like, and I probably won't make any major changes later.

Deployment

It is currently deployed on Tencent Cloud's Guangzhou lightweight cloud server, and for future optimization I plan to deploy it across multiple routes.

Finally

Posting a screenshot of Typecho as a keepsake.
