Writing A Static Site Generator

I wanted a clean, simple site. Blog-like. Not powered by some bloated overwrought monstrosity of a blogging platform with security vulnerabilities and updates to install and plugins to manage. Just a few web pages, not a Javascript web app. I wanted scripts, written from scratch by myself, to generate the static site pages. I didn't want to wrestle any sprawling web frameworks. I wanted to stay away from making things complicated. And you're reading the result.

New Site

Here we go.

This will be fun. I'll write about projects I'm working on. Maybe I'll publish informative content here, or maybe just pictures of my dog. Probably both. Anyway. Maybe it'll be helpful to someone. But it's my new home on the web and it's not owned by some corporation. I'm publishing it myself. And who am I? I've thrown up a page dancing around that subject here.

The next post will go into detail about generating this site's pages.
