Closes #833. This removes the blog on the website and replaces it with https://blog.privacyguides.org/

Why?

  • We currently don't make much use of Git for our article publishing process.
  • Hacking mkdocs into becoming a good blog is an uphill battle.
    • New posts require manual updates on docs/blog.md and mkdocs.yml
    • RSS isn't available. The RSS plugins we've discovered would enable RSS for changes on every page on the site, which is not ideal.
  • Blog articles should be published/optimized in many ways that the rest of the site shouldn't
    • A lot more metadata is required for blog articles for e.g. cover images, twitter card info, author metadata etc.
  • Self-hosted comments
  • Using an actual blog platform will let us do things like host a newsletter in the future.
