I have always found myself reluctant building a blog out of static-site generators. If writing and posting were all I want, static sites could have done everything the web technologies had been offering. But I kinda feel that the fact that we -- the small group people having "internet dream" since the beginning of web 2.0 -- has the desire to share and collaborate. The more the web is inter-connected, the more value the community can create. We are in the same boat, and this feeling is something static hosting services seldom provides.

I had only two testing posts on cohost, but I did enjoy reading and discovering posts there. The idea of forming a close-knit community was rooted at the core design of cohost, shaping it up as a nice blend of blogging platform and social media. I hope more people can build toward this.
