I recommended this on another HN post a few weeks ago: use Emvi [1] to write your blog articles and access them on your personal page on a server you control through the API to display them. You can store the HTML and attached files to serve it statically and update it from time to time. Should you decide to abandon Emvi you still have everything in place. I did this for a gaming community wiki (sort of, I don't store articles on the webserver). The main advantage is that your site is literally just a dumb frontend and uses Emvi as a headless CMS and the editor experience is nice. You can take a look at it [2] and the source code on GitHub [3].

Just wanted to say that I am impressed by the emvi landing page. Slick and high fps.

  Thanks :) We're working on a new one as we're redoing the whole UI. @danielschramm is writing it.

Any how-to’s that explain a little more how one might accomplish this with emvi? Eg using it at a front end/cms for a blog?

  Not yet. We will start adding documentation after we left beta. Right now we are working hard on the new UI, which is time consuming. You can take a look at our client libraries [1] and at this sample [2] for now. The js client is the most complete one.
