How to export and rehost your Tumblr site

(Update: Version 3.2.0 of Jekyll looks like it's breaking a few things, so I've changed the guide to make you specifically install the version I was using, 3.1.3. I believe this is the issue: jekyll/jekyll#5145.)

You will be using jekyll-import to export your Tumblr site, Jekyll to (re)create it, and Surge to rehost it.

Update: You can also use Tumblr's native export feature in your blogs' individual settings. But rehosting that might be tricky. Read my comments below this post for how that works.

REST Ideology & Rants

I am getting frustrated by the number of people calling any HTTP-based interface a REST API. Today’s example is the SocialSite REST API. That is RPC. It screams RPC. There is so much coupling on display that it should be given an X rating.

REST APIs must be hypertext-driven

Roy Fielding writes a PhD dissertation describing the architectural style of the World Wide Web. He coins the term ‘Representational State Transfer’ (REST) to describe it – after all, if you’re going to talk about something, you need to give it a name. Somehow, in a semantic shift of epic fail proportions, the term REST has also come to mean something completely different to most people, a ‘style’ of writing web services. This style has no agreed protocol.

Static Site Generators

A Static Site Generator is a program, that generates an HTML website as an output. ThisHTML website is then served through your web server, just like the old’n’days. This is usually achieved using template languages and code that separates out the layout of the website from its content and styles.

Advantages of a Static Site Generator?

• Security – There’s no database layer, or rails/pylons layer of code so security excellent.
• Performance – Under load, less memory / cpu usage to serve your website, so your website stays up longer
• Have a copy of your content separate from your server
• Easily move your website to another host – Copy and paste the HTML and re-route the domain name should you have one.

    // work with optional 1 or optional 2
    console.log(optional1);
    console.log(optional2);
    // cant change this function
