I just don't know why we stopped doing this; the barrier of entry to HTML is just extremely low for basic markup.

I still keep my personal blog written in plain HTML with a wee bit of CSS to give it personality. It just works so well!

I'm starting to think that's a good idea as a supplement to a "real" blog - sometimes there's just not enough oomph in a thought to carry it through to a full post but would justify a couple of paragraphs.

Of course, working out how to make this convenient to use is going to be the tricky bit...
