I definitely think static websites are the future of blogs. Fast, light, minimalistic, browser-friendly and moreover totally under your control. You be the boss

I definitely think static websites are the future of blogs. Fast, light, minimalistic, browser-friendly and moreover totally under your control. You be the boss! Don't want Google Analytics prying on everyone? Just have some 3rd party script for counting views, or just remove it altogether. So much customizations and moderation privileges, I think it is the only place to truly express yourself, not some FB, IG, Twitter etc.
