Hello world 3.0

Yay! I've been moving my PHP-sites to a new host. As a cost-cutting measure. Handicapguiden, which runs .NET, stays where it is.

During the moving process, I found that Flatpress wasn't really playing along nicely with the new setup. Tried fixing the code with the result that more errors emerged, this time in the Smarty Templating Engine itself. Smarty being the backbone of Flatpress, I didn't feel like wanting to patch old revisions of Smarty that are probably likely to be replaced sometime soon by a newer revision of Smarty.

Subsequently, I found that it was probably best to merge my two blogs. I chose GRAV which is a flatfile CMS, and I found that it is incredibly fun to work with the combination of PHP/Twig in the backend and Markdown in the frontend. Originally I started out doing PHP/MySQL sites back in the late 90s, so you kinda forget you don't necessarily need a database for smaller sites like mine at least - better save those precious CPU cycles.

I will be importing the old danish stuff in the coming weeks once I finish the converter.
