I'm just about to switch over from MovableType to GitHub Pages http://pages.github.com/ http://pages.github.com/ . They use Jekyll http://jekyllrb.com/ http://jekyllrb.com/ to publish text, HTML or Markdown. So far it's pretty awesome. The benefits of this particular setup include: * all articles are under version control * just do a `push` to publish * easily run a local Jekyll server to preview articles * use a real programmer's text editor (not some web form) * Markdown is the best for tech articles * write, preview and commit while offline * code syntax highlighting * integration of snippets (gists) * variable layouts for different page types * pages are static so are served fast * easy to add comments with Disqus et al * easily port your content anywhere * keep images and other binary content alongside text Which reminds me - dear $DEITY, when is HN going to support Markdown?!
