There are addons to most advanced editors to publish WordPress-posts directly from the editor (vimpress, wp-emacs). Writing the posts in Markdown or similar is also trivial to do with WordPress. Mind you, I'm not trying to advocate WordPress, but when I say WordPress you can substitute it with any simple, easy to install CMS. I used to create my own CMS just for my blog. But then I needed some new features, but didn't have time to write them. So I just switched to WP, where most features are just an addon away. The only problem I have is that I need to update it whenever a security bug is discovered. For that security I see the advantage of Jekyll.
