Jekyll. Running on Heroku. Gets the job done and because everything is static, it's blazing fast. I love managing my blog via CLI/git too.
Before that, Wordpress / Tumblr / Posterous (RIP) / etc etc.
Nothing is quite as elegant as Jekyll. It's not for everyone though.
- joshguthrie 14y agoSeconded, static is definitely the way you want to go. Hexo (http://zespia.tw/hexo/ http://zespia.tw/hexo/) is nice too if you're more of a node.js guy and want to hack your way in/out.
- imwhimsical 14y agoWhile I use Jekyllfor my own blog, im thinking of switching to cactus. How good of a decision would that be?
- fakeer 14y agoI like Jekyll. The look of it. But I do not want to get into Ruby. I tried to Jekyll for a few months(and then I stopped blogging, planning to take up again). That comes down to Python and Java(yes, Java!). For Python I have listed some Pelican, Hyde and Blogofile etc. Have not been able to decide which one to pick(Anything in Java?) I am looking for: 1. Minimal but looks good(clean and simple) 2. Lightweight(will be on base Webfaction package) 3. Better docs and tutorials available. 4. Active development 5. Templating shouldn't be complex and rigid 6. Tag based RSS feeds supported 7. External comment system support e.g. Disqus, LiveFyre, IntenseDebate etc. 8. Should support import/export from and to other blogging systems Would be nice to hear pitfalls and goods.
