The most important thing about blogging is to just get started and make it low energy. However, I was using wordpress for ~5 years and it was rotting under my feet. It served really slow. I also feel much more secure not having my content in a somewhat difficult to decipher xml file. I feel like if you don't have your content in a relatively straightforward form like plaintext or markdown or html, you're gonna lose it eventually. I was considering going raw html, but Jekyll ultimately does have some convenient features while still keeping my content accessible to me forever in markdown. It is also very convenient to serve from a github.io. http://www.philipzucker.com/i-moved-my-blog-from-wordpress/ http://www.philipzucker.com/i-moved-my-blog-from-wordpress/
