I'm only talking the talk since I'm currently hosted on Wordpress, but I'm starting to think that a static site generator is the best option. Why? Because, a) programming blogs are a bit like academic papers in that they depend on careful markup, and b) they work a lot better when they're minimalistic, with a strong emphasis on the code. With a static site generator, the definitive version of each article can be a simple, easy-to-edit Markdown file; you don't have to reason about HTML/PHP/SQL unless you really want to. The content is perfectly decoupled from the presentation, and you can edit your articles in your favorite text editor to boot.
