The AI rebuilt my blog from a WordPress export. I left WordPress after 15 years.

He gave the AI his WordPress export and told it to rebuild the blog in Astro. The new self hosted site is live with a modern style, a dark theme and better accessibility, and it ends the $110 a year WordPress charged him.

$110a year

How it works

  1. Exports his WordPress blog
  2. Tells the AI to rebuild it in Astro
  3. The AI rebuilds the site and finds broken links, missed spam comments and OpenGraph issues on its own
  4. He sets up feeds so readers notice no difference and the new site goes live

Why it’s worth knowing

On top of the rebuild, the agent found broken links and spam comments he had missed across 15 years of posts.
