I have been wanting to start a blog since I joined college. It's been more than a decade now. I want to keep it simple. I finally changed my website to html, css only. No js, no plugins, none of those cool static site generators. None of those fancy effects. Simple text and it looks pretty clean and simple on mobile too. And it's fast! Finally after years of playing with my website (my landing page) after having tried dozens methods and tools I am happy with it.

I think that's how I will write my blog posts too. Whenever I want to write a post (that won't be frequent) I'll just add a html page in my /blog dir on github pages and link it on /blog.html with date/title and all. I am sure there are tons of such blogs out there. And then I will request OP to donate to Internet Archive :)
