That's pretty much what I ended up doing as well, albeit with my own static site builder scripts. Each time I build my site[1], the deployment script is just a directory rsync. No mess, no fuss.

You are also right about not needing a CDN. My site has occasionally become momentarily popular and my $5 hosting VM hasn't even blinked on my completely static site. A database is a fine thing but you don't want to be serving web pages out of one. Thats why I finally ditched WordPress.

Your blog is acceptable to me.

More specifically, I like the dry humor and scattershot nature of the content. Reminds me of how the web used to be.

That is literally the nicest thing anyone has ever said about my blog.

(Realistically I probably should have started different sites as my circumstances/interests changed, but it's my blog and I'll do what I want)
