Heh, same. Used FrontPage for a while to basically "push" static pages to my site, then played with Blosxom for a bit but never published anything with it, wrote my own in Perl with Template toolkit and Markdown, and as that was going along, heard about and downloaded Ghost. Then built a 'theme' that matched my original skeumorphic notebook theme and basically have what I need to push the button on it (but haven't for some reason).

I'm trading simplicity for speed and turn-around. The tool-chain is all cli, vim + browser. At some stage soon I'll write either an api/server to allow a simple interface to speed up process.

The basic ideas are based on Dave Winer and Scripting.com
