Another alternative is to use NNTP for the blog (I thought of this but it look like someone else independently had the same idea some time ago, I remember seeing it mentioned on HN); users can then post follow-up messages if wanted, too. The web page can still display the blog converted to HTML (from plain text or markdown or gemini or whatever; ideally a format readable even as plain text even if you do not have a program to parse the format it is in to make the fancy rendering). (Maybe in future, the "blog mode" function can be added into my (or others) NNTP server software. Actually it already includes the HTTP as well as the NNTP, although the web interface implement is incomplete. But, it can be worked someone might be able to adapt it for blog commenting if wanted, maybe.)
