Either you want to just get it done or you enjoy the process of tinkering on the infrastructure.

If you want it done: pay somebody a small amount to do the things. Sometimes it's even free.

If you like tinkering: pick a static site generator. Whichever one you pick will be wrong, but the process of setting it up and getting the first entries through will be a learning experience. In a bit you will have an opinion on what went well and what didn't, and be able to learn from others.

(I use Pelican with a bunch of plugins and a repeatedly abused CSS file. It's not right for everyone, but I like it.)
