The old blog is here.

Progress Update​

I used the Webpage HTML Export to help me complete the Categories easily.

Categories Created:​

  • HTML and CSS - Web development fundamentals
  • ディジタル信号処理 - Digital Signal Processing

Current Challenge​

But it's not perfect for me. I am facing a problem in that I have learned HTML and CSS, and created a blog layout. But I need a feature that can generate HTML by Markdown file.

The Dilemma​

First of all, I want to keep the layout of the blog I created, so I think using the existing static site builder may not be suitable for me. So now I'm using some plugins to help me quickly export a large number of Markdown files into HTML, but the problem is that the exported HTML files don't have the same layout of my blog.

What Should I Do?​

Learning JavaScript or Python about static web page generators and scripts that can help me, that's my next step.

Technical Insights​

The Core Problem:

  • Created custom HTML/CSS layout
  • Need Markdown → HTML conversion
  • Want to preserve custom design
  • Existing static site generators might override custom styling

Potential Solutions:

  1. Custom Script Development: Learn JavaScript/Python for custom Markdown processing
  2. Template Integration: Modify existing generators to use custom templates
  3. Hybrid Approach: Use generators but heavily customize the output

Learning Path:

  • JavaScript for front-end scripting
  • Python for static site generation tools
  • Understanding how Markdown parsers work
  • Template systems integration
