Finally made the switch to Hugo after battling with my hand-crafted website for too long. Final straw was that there were just too many out-of-date dependencies which caused everything to break in small and subtle ways. My options were to either spend a lot of time fixing that site or start from scratch. The former option would mean being stuck with hand-crafted garbage that would inevitably break again or switch to something that would last a bit longer (hopefully) and be a bit more battle-tested.

Was able to trivially migrate Blogger posts with blog2md. Only downside was some of the files resulted in errors in Hugo that gave me no valuable information at all. Turns out the issue was due to comments not being handled properly.
