+1 to japanoise's suggestion to write your own static blog script. Here's mine, which I initially wrote several years ago after evaluating & having issues with many other options: https://github.com/Sequoia/sequoia.github.com/blob/rewrite/s...

I recently evaluated migrating to Hugo to ditch my hastily written script & use a 'robust, mature' tool. I wanted to add an RSS feed and figured "why work more on my one off script, I could use a pre-built solution!" But migrating was indeed a pain in the butt, and it quickly became clear that writing a function to output an RSS feed was much faster than doing everything I needed to migrate.

Static blogs are very simple, and performance doesn't matter that much for all but the most prolific authors, and you can improve performance if needed. Write your own script!
