decide whether to slurp up tumblr export, or port to markdown for remark

Leaning towards making it work using frontmatter in markdown files, and writing a script to convert jsons into frontmattered markdown, with the body as the "content" bit for links, videos, and photosets.

Definitely leaning towards an import script that'll convert everything to markdown with frontmatter based on the post type.

Plan:

• [x] Download tumblr data using https://github.com/bbolli/tumblr-utils
• [x] for each json downloaded, create a markdown file at src/pages/{YYYY}/{MM}/{slug}/index.md
  • [x] appropriate frontmatter and the caption/body in the body of the markdown
  • [x] a redirection from /post/{id}/{slug}
  • [x] Download all the images for photosets and update the urls to be relative

Note that the created markdown files will have to vary based on the type of post. Since Tumblr doesn't require titles, some of them might not have them.
