The more I think about the static blog generator idea, the more I think it's different enough to be a separate project.
But anyway, I already wrote this list of pros/cons to why I think static blog generators are better, so might as well post it: Pros: - Runs anywhere you can host HTML, such as Github Pages (which is free btw) - No need for authentication/authorization code - No need for WYSWYG editor - No need for server component - No need for a database - No need for an admin console (probably replaced by config files) - Import/export is probably easier, since blog entries are just files Cons: - Can't make middleware plugins (but I can't think of a need for one) - Probably would need ugly/tedious user-editable config files - Can't remember the last one, but (or thus?) it probably wasn't important -Steven On Sun, Jul 21, 2013 at 5:23 PM, Steven Degutis <sbdegu...@gmail.com> wrote: > Lately, a lot of people are moving away from dynamic blog engines like > Wordpress, and starting to use static blog generators like Jekyll. > > You may want to consider this route instead.
