I have some material for a tech blog I'd like to put someplace.
I'd like to self-host it, but sometimes the part of the drive that enables creativity contradicts / is interfered with by the part of the brain that is required for technical planning, even something as minor as a tech blog setup.
At least for me.
I'm thinking I host a WordPress instance privately, at home, and I use a staticgen system (Pelican??) to export and push that out to a STATIC public site on a VPS I control. It still feels like a lot of work though.
I'm a systems guy and I'd like the WYSIWYG-type platform on which I can focus on ideas and post my blog without worrying about security, hosting, etc. And it needs to be at least somewhat pretty, with a discus or other commentary plugin at the bottom and ability to show pretty screenshots.
Has anyone experimented with Wordpress -> Pelican or is there something better?
If I spend too much time hacking away at edge conditions, then that's less time I get for creativity.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
