Code is data is code. I wrote my surrounding static text as a Common Lisp program; relevant BLOBs are put into a resources directory. Blog entries are in Markdown, then read into the program, transformed, and the entire thing spat out as HTML. It then uploads to S3 and renders out in a domain. I'll be moving to the Google cloud edition of that sometime in the next 4 months, I figure. I've dinked with wordpress, blogger, tumblr, livejournal, dreamwidth, and other platforms, along with 1 or 2 other static site generators, along with writing my own static site generator. This beats all of them in terms of maintainability and simplicity. I'm a no-name software engineer and this is a way to write down things that I want to share with people. It works really well. For the curious, here's an out of date edition of the site as Lisp: https://gist.github.com/pnathan/d57bb0e95fa68552a51755814844d50b https://gist.github.com/pnathan/d57bb0e95fa68552a51755814844...
