You could also Blog like a Hacker[1], and use no servers at all, like Amazon's CTO Werner Vongels[2]. You can see more from his own comments when he posted it

- dotBen 15y agoyou can also do this with WordPress http://wpengine.com/faq/blog-s3/ http://wpengine.com/faq/blog-s3/ (you can run WordPress locally to generate the site, or use a 3rd party service just to run the process but not serve from it).
- DanielRibeiro 15y agoExcept that this is not a hacker solution, as you need to actually go to http://wpengine.com/contact/ http://wpengine.com/contact/ , fill a form, and wait. The hacker solution that the Chief Technology Officer of Amazon uses is much more a "power to the people" approach.
- dotBen 15y agoNo, as I wrote, you can run WordPress locally (ie on your own workstation, local server, whatever) and have it send to S3. I gave the WPEngine link just to prove people are doing it with WordPress and it's not a pipedream.
- itsnotvalid 15y agoThen the time required for a complete generation is just the same. The author obviously don't want to compile the site as it takes too long for him, so compiling a wordpress blog would not yield any time benefits.
