As discussed previously on this post and this one, the current SE hosted blog service on WordPress is going away - with an ideal timeline of 1 Jan 2017.
It shouldn't be immensely complex, but there are a couple of things we need to complete:
- host it and get a URL. If we do it on WordPress, exporting from the old one and importing to the new will be simple, as a requirement is that URL post slugs remain the same, however we have had some discussion on host platform. If anyone knows how to migrate from WP to Ghost, Git or whatever while keeping URL slugs, then we can do that, otherwise let's move to WordPress.com as per @Xander's answer.
- inform SE so they can add the redirect link
So this should be really easy to do quickly if we go with a WP setup, or if anyone can help with an alternative and make it happen quickly (@andré-borie ?) then we could use another platform.
