What format to use for a personal+tech blog?
2 points by andymacool on March 10, 2014 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
Looking at NSHipster.com and objc.io, they seem to use .md to store their articles. If I want to start a personal blog (with some tech articles), what is the best format to use for my posts such that I can not only format it easily, view them nicely, keep them safely in my computer (like PDFs), but also able to put them up in the blog website?

Some options are: 1. use a database (not big fan, hard to export). 2. write in HTML format 3. write in .md format 4. write in Word/Pages

What's the most commonly used solution here ? Thanks HN !



Pelican or Jeckyl + markdown
