I like how many comments mention "you don't need a framework" and then mention how they wrote there personal bloggers in pure whatever. Frameworks is not just some hyped up abstraction layer. Advanced frameworks offer advanced functionality for advanced projects. They really do. They have standardized certain ways of doing things, structuring complex web applications and solving problems. I completely agree about using a framework to build a personal blog is overkill in many ways, but don't blame the framework for that. Just like you shouldn't blame the saw for being bad at hammering in nails.
