Yes I use wp.com as a dumb backend with a somewhat blank template so SEs won't find it. Then pull all posts via the API, download images, etc. Render them via Jinja and upload them to Netlify.

Yeah that sounds reasonable. I don’t know if I’ll ever get around to rewriting the templates.

By the way you could just use the images served from WordPress.com I assume… unless the ToS don’t allow that.

wp.com does some hotlinking prevention IIRC so I just download them with Python. Plus, I like hosting assets on my own turf. Peace of mind...
