Medium is NOT a blogging platform, contrary to popular belief. Blogging is owning your content, and when you write for Mediium, make no mistake, it belongs to Medium.

Although, I just switched over from Wordpress to Jekyll, and I find it there to be a lot less friction for publishing. I talked more about the new and exciting workflow of Jekyll at http://rmorabia.com/redesign

I really don't agree with the author here. Hackability is what's aided my decision to publish more. It's just that a lot of people get caught up in the hackability more than the publishing.

Also, there's no data backing this post. I've seen plenty of active Hakyll sites. http://gwern.net is my favorite example.

I invite you to glance over the Medium Terms of Service. "You own the rights to the content you post on Medium."

But you don't control how it's published:

"However, by posting or transferring content to Medium, you give us permission to use your content solely to do the things we need to do to provide Medium Services, including, without limitation, storing, displaying, reproducing, and distributing your content. This may include promoting your content with partner companies or services for broader broadcast, distribution, or publication."

(They do say they won't sell your content to third parties without your consent, which is good.)

And you don't control if and when the terms of service change.

You own the copyright; I don't believe that's what rmorabia is talking about, though I may be mistaken.

If you're looking for a mix between svblte and Medium you might give http://www.postagon.com a shot.

What definition of "blogging" deals with ownership? Seems more like a personal issue with Medium on your end (which may even be unfounded?).
