I used Publii for my blog, but it was very constraining in terms of its styling (the templates were mediocre). And I had made changes to its defaults for styling (which ended up not being responsive), so that when upgrades came around, it messed things up enough that I just stayed on prior versions. Now I'm stuck.

The whole template problem, along with customization (or is it configuration?) is the biggest blocker for me. I'm going back to a straightforward Markdown-like to HTML generator for my next blog revision.

Yeah, i wanted to make a simpler template like the one used in CityDesk or the one in the root site (that i haven't updated for ages however i already had made a custom template for consistency: the "Blog" part was generated by Pelican and the rest of the site with a custom generator) instead of the heavy one i ended up using (that IMO is the best -or least bad- among those available, at least according to my taste and needs :-P). But when i tried to figure out how to make a custom theme i just noped away.
