Ask HN: What blogging platform do you use?

Consider this my vote of support for simple input and "baking" to yield something which suits your fancy. There are no surprises about content or server load.

It also seems like one of those things that (some) people eventually do: writing their own engine which makes their posts work. For something deeply personal that you might wind up using several times a day, sometimes it takes that kind of commitment to get a tool which is just right.

That's what I like to tell myself, at least. I described my own program earlier this year: http://rachelbythebay.com/w/2012/01/12/publog/
