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?
I decided to move to gemini on SDF. Data is far easier to maintain and you can use any editor to add/change files.
In case you do not know what I am referring to:

Thanks for the reminder about Gemini… I decided to try it out and have been enjoying the process so far. We’ll see how it goes!
