Testing Quill again now that I’ve spend the weekend completely rebuilding my personal site from the ground up, Indieweb first. It’s taken longer than I would have liked, and I’m going to need to reassign post kinds because none of that got imported as part of the content export, but honestly I’m not that upset about this.
