I have been a long time user of static site generators, such as
Jekyll.

I recently discovered Org Mode's publishing features and started
appreciating flexibility and capabilities, especially when literate
programming comes into play to generate "dynamic" content.

In this talk/tutorial I will present the challenges I faced and how I
finally moved my homepage and the University of Trento's Computational
Logic website to Org Mode.
