Moving to Ghost

After years of hosting my blog on my own software, Mango, I've decided to finally migrate to a professionally developed platform. I'm hosting an installation of Ghost on Digital Ocean, and looking to dial down my usage of AWS.

I've moved some, but not all, of the posts from before. There are several I probably won't migrate as they were kind of meta about writing Mango, or test posts, or just fairly useless. I haven't moved all the ones I plan to yet, so there is bound to be a broken link or two.

Could I have written an exporter to a format Ghost would import? Yeah, probably. I am a software engineer after all. But I didn't feel like it, so I didn't. This is supposed to be a hobby, so I can pick and choose whatever I feel like.
