I want to start off by stating that all prose is written by a human. I use Claude to help me build tools and to insert links into posts I write. Claude does not generate my posts.

It's been nearly 10 years since I last wrote a blog post. This blog used to be a Blogger site. I took it down when I noticed a bunch of spam comments that needed to be cleaned up. But then in the shuffle of life I never migrated it anywhere.

I recently dabbed a Claude Code subscription and after refactoring a few tools I recently built I wanted to see if I could get my blog back up and running using Claude.

I backed my blog using Blogger's export capabilties. This provided me an atom feed of my blog posts. Using Claude I setup a plan to take the existing blog and migrate it to a Docusaurus site.

Claude wrote a Python script to extract the post text and convert it from HTML to Markdown using markdownify. After converting them to markdown I had Claude review to identify any broken links or missing iamges. Claude identified a few dead links and some images that were not downloaded as part of the backup since they expired from Blogger's CDN.

I then used Claude to help me build out the menu. This was really helpful since I haven't done frontend work in a long time. It did take serveral iterations to get the menu where I wanted it.

Once I had my working Docusaurus site, I setup a Github Pages website and configured Giscus to be able to support comments.

Being able to use Claude to accelerate the more tedius parts of the migration was super helpful.
