# Migrating from WordPress to GitHub Pages

 February 17, 2026

 Categories: blog, tech

 I used to run a blog on WordPress back in 2016-2017 during my PhD years at University of Oklahoma. It was about credit card rewards, travel deals, and tech tips — published under the name "chanye".

The old blog (uscreditcards101.com) was a fun side project. I learned a lot about:

- Content creation

- Building an audience

- SEO basics

That blog is still running today thanks to my original partner — and the daily email digest I suggested (noon PST) is still going strong after all these years!

Now I'm moving to GitHub Pages for a fresh start. More tech-focused this time.

## Why GitHub Pages?

- Free hosting

- Full control over content

- Version control for posts (git)

- Markdown for writing

- No database, no security updates

More to come! 🚀
