I'm using what is probably the simplest static site generator: cat.

  for f in texts/*.html; do
    cat preamble.html "$f" postamble.html > out/$(basename "$f")
  done

The front-page is written manually.

I did something along those lines once, but I used https://github.com/susam/mdme as the preamble so I could write the posts in markdown rather than html. The index was an extra line to add links to index.html.
