As an aside, about Wordpress, there are a couple of important points: 1) The famous install - it's extremely simple, anyone can do it if they have MySQL set up. Even easier if your hoster has CPanel. Ghost requires either hosting on their systems or your own server running Node. The latter is not an option for many customers, the majority of bloggers are _not_ web savvy. 2) Plugins, themes and knowledgebase, pretty damn good. However, like any app store there's a lot of rubbish and it's often hard to tell which plugin you really want. Not to mention you can make Wordpress do virtually anything you want with the right theme. 3) Security. Wordpress is a mire for this. I don't have a well known blog, but I still got hammered by script kiddies trying to upload malicious files, attempting to access restricted directories, etc. Ultimately this is the problem, Wordpress is a fantastic platform, but it requires constant maintenance to make sure that nothing is insecure. This is not a problem if you're a full time blogger, or you're running a profitable website that needs that kind of flexibility. However, for someone who doesn't blog that often and doesn't want this overhead, Wordpress is just too much. I now use a static generator (Octopress) because I can't be bothered with updating all the time, knowing that if I forget, my site is likely to get hacked. It was fairly easy to add support for mathtex too. This plus a hand coded static site for other content is all I need. I don't need any databases, everything is nice and low bandwidth and it's trivial to manage everything with git. Thank god for rake watch!
