If you don't need tagging (as http://danluu.com/ doesn't, for example), you can use my "no workflow" solution:

* draft in markdown

* render in HTML (using any Markdown to HTML tool, e.g. pandoc)

* link your CSS in the HTML file.

* push to your preferred serving platform

This has the advantage of getting you started as quick as you can open an editor.

If after 5 posts you are wanting a tool, pick whichever (Hugo).

I like this as a starting point, gonna recommend it from now on!

Although the benefit of using a static site generator like Hugo is the ability to short codes to reuse code snippets (like embedding videos or images). But that can wait - getting five posts out first is important!

This puts the focus on writing content vs. spending unlimited time in the setup.
