Far easier said than done.
Is there a "user-servicable" static site generator? I'm not aware of one, if it exists.
Wordpress may be a pile of junk but as a CMS you can hand it off to almost anyone and they'll be able to use it.
- basch 8y agoPut Comet Cache and Cloudflare in front of it. Comet Cache generates generates static files from wordpress, and Cloudflares "keep my site up if it goes down" keeps copies of the static files.
- gridlockd 8y agoThe problem with that kind of solution is that a lot of stuff stops working. For example, a static site generator can still support stuff like search functionality by generating the required files, but a wordpress plugin is going to be unaware that a static site is being generated.
- basch 8y agoIn my experience, Comet Cache is pretty smart about not breaking dynamic plugins. And Cloudflare gives you a lot of power over what should and shouldnt be cached through settings and explicit page rules.
- sdenton4 8y agoI used to use blosxom for this purpose. Just write the markdown for an entry and run a script to output the updated static site... Maybe not "use serviceable" enough for you, though. http://blosxom.sourceforge.net http://blosxom.sourceforge.net
