But what simple features are these? Would you please list a few? The historical problem with "blogging" is that it was invented in an era where we didn't yet have Disqus, Flickr, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Feedburner, YouTube, Slideshare, Google Analytics, or even Digg, Reddit, or Hacker News. If you wanted any portion of the functionality of any of these things you had to build it into your "blog". And so hacker blogs were enormous code-heavy things that tended to get heavier with time. But nowadays I'd argue that, to first order, any work you do to reinvent any of the functionality of any of these things is an expensive luxury. Others have concluded the same, which is why so many blogs have shed so many features and gone back to being: A bunch of static web pages full of writing. With maybe a sitemap and maybe an RSS feed, and maybe comments with Disqus, but maybe not. But I'm always curious to know what I might be missing out on if I switch to Octopress, so please: A list? Sell me on Wordpress!
