I spent some up front time setting up Supervisor, Jekyll, and a light server listening to Github actions that, upon an update, just pulls the latest on commit and reruns the static publisher. I even have a staging branch/subdomain. The first point - easy to update - is critical. If there is any friction to the process, you will just never do it. Your personal time is inherently much more valuable than your work time. And if you are creating your new personal site, I highly recommend scrapping everything you know and doing it with Grid and Flex.
