For me, it's a way of avoiding having to trust / pay for someone else's server, but also avoid worrying about keeping my wordpress install up to date.
I had a little blog I posted to every few months, and one day I found it vandalised from my out of date wordpress.
- paulgb 14y agoI think this is a huge reason for the popularity of static blogs. For dynamic blog software, your choice is basically WordPress. Unfortunately, WordPress has a pretty bad security track record. Things might be different if there were a reliable second-place blogging engine, but as far as I know there isn't. Another reason is the rise of version control for small projects, and the way static sites fit nicely into a Git workflow.
