I just noticed (and made a post on BBOARD under REQUESTS) that Jekyll doesn’t seem to be available anymore. It seemed as of a few years ago that was the popular choice for hosting a blog on SDF.

But maybe there are better solutions these days?

I don’t want to do some sort of Wordpress or any sort of database-backed thing. I just want a lightweight, static generator of some sort, that can take Markdown and update a bunch of HTML files, maintaining the site structure, index files, etc. etc.

Back in the day I used Blosxom for this, but it got hard to keep running (at least for me, not being very into Perl), so I migrated everything over to Jekyll… but it’s never really been the lightweight, easy-to-use solution that I hoped it would be.

Anyone have thoughts or suggestions?

Not exactly a blog, but I’m using Dokuwiki to maintain everything wiki and blog-like, be it in SDF or elsewhere. Doesn’t need a database, you can upload your content via whatever (SSH, RPC, git push, etc) and has various templates geared towards personal sites or information sites.
