After getting frustrated with SSG, I evaluated a few options. SSGs usually begin as niche products and then add more features and become bloated with them. Ultimately, they have so many bells and whistles I don't need that it's not worth dealing with them. I wanted something simple e.g. based on pandoc. I have also tried writing posts in pure HTML. HTML has lots of advantages, but when you have to read your own stuff, it's not very pretty. Markdown brings more clarity to your documents and also allows you to embed HTML. I have used Sergey [1] to create some basic HTML templates, but it is not as pleasant to use as Markdown. Also, generating RSS and creating archives are problematic. This should be automated. I decided to use Blot [2]. I am not familiar with the author, but I think it is a good tiny product worth recommending. It will turn any document into a page. You can create an HTML page and it will be embedded into your template. The author appears to be nice [3]. The code is open source.
