The strength of SSGs is that you have the power and simplicity of plain HTML & CSS, but with two special features: - the ability to quickly change styling details on all of your pages - a markdown engine, so that you can write posts more quickly and ergonomically There are other nice features SSGs bring to the table (automatic RSS feed generation for instance) but those two features are the main things that stop me from writing directly in HTML. Especially the first one.
