I am struggling with the exact same problem at the moment.
I am currently contemplating using just http and php, whereby I just save my posts as textfiles along with maybe 1 image file in a folder ( say /posts/{id}/) and the php just takes all those and turns them into HTML using some type of template like the author mentioned. Then do some basic SEO to improve visibility.
I'm no webdev myself and have no experience with building anything on the web but I think this could suffice.
I've been using the minimalist ssg [1], a ~187 sloc sh script to generate my site [2], so that I can avoid dealing with more complicated, messy solutions and to make it easier to switch to a custom site generator if I decide to write one in the future. I'd say I'm pretty happy with it so far.
