All of the replies to my comment are coming from someone with higher than average technical expertise. Say what you will about WordPress, but what is being proposed here is not an accessible experience. It's downright repulsive to someone without the technical requirements to simply publish a blog post.
The (albeit, poorly contextualized) point that I was trying to make is, that you, the guy with the technical expertise can update the website. No one else can.
This square-in-a-round-hole argument is brought to you by ego (NIH, small unmaintained websites, etc.), not a strive to make content easier to publish, easier to maintain.
If the only author in mind is yourself, then ya, it works. Beyond that? As soon as you add another contributor, the complexity of updating the website skyrockets.
