More people should be aware of static blog generators. It's a kind of software used to make websites where you write your posts in a markup language like reStructuredText or Markdown, and once done a script transforms it into HTML and CSS. Various plugins exist, including for comments, although this tends to sacrifice your "staticness" in varying degrees, especially if you just use Disqus.
