The nice thing about Jekyll is that you can just find a nice looking theme and then fork it, edit the config.yml file with your specifics, such as name/address/etc and then publish. Posts go under the posts folder, uploaded as md files. It's very nice and clean. You can host a site on github pages and point your .com to their DNS servers. It frees you up to focus on writing, and you have the benefit of markdown there if you need it. Makes you wonder why a simple blog site needs to be interacting with a DB and making mad calls all over the place, with loads of insecure plugins and all the rest of it. Just give me simplicity :)
