I am struggling with the exact same problem at the moment.

I am currently contemplating using just http and php, whereby I just save my posts as textfiles along with maybe 1 image file in a folder ( say /posts/{id}/) and the php just takes all those and turns them into HTML using some type of template like the author mentioned. Then do some basic SEO to improve visibility.

I'm no webdev myself and have no experience with building anything on the web but I think this could suffice.
