As enjoyable as this post was, i recalled my history with static site generators as follows: hand-code html pages --> hand-code html but w/ server-side includes (yes, back in the apache days) --> use php w/own custom templates and mysql db --> move to wordpress --> love the intent of wordpress, but regret the needed maintenance, so move back to custom php and custom templates --> move manage content via Lektor (python SSG) --> learn that i don't need a UI, and am content crafting my content in markdown --> start using pelican (python SSG) --> get bored, so move to Hugo as new SSG flavor of the month --> get annoyed with templating language --> move back to pelican --> realized i spent too much time bouncing around, just did away with any SSG tool set, and hand craft html pages whenever i want to publish something...and now only craft journal entries for my own private diary (with an occasional post on the fediverse). :-)
