What do people use these days when they want to self host something a bit more light weight? I have setup a few wordpress installations but really if I wanted something to tinker with I think I would look elsewhere, the code has you trawl though many files at times to make simple changes.
- nhangen 16y agoThere really isn't anything outside of HTML, or perhaps Squarespace? I'd love to find something in the middle.

- jamesgeck0 16y agoJekyll is a nice way to generate a static HTML blog. A step above that is Frog CMS. Closer to WordPress are Habari and Chyrp, which are still fairly lightweight.
- thecoffman 16y agoJekyll (http://jekyllrb.com http://jekyllrb.com) is a "blog aware static site generator." I use it to power my blog and I love it. You write your layouts in HTML or HAML using the Liquid templating language and then your posts can be in markdown/textile/whatever and you run Jekyll - it generates static HTML files and publishing is just a SCP away.
