A couple of years back, frustrated by the challenges of running my own Wordpress site, I decided to give Pelican a try.
It’s what is know as a “static blogging” tool. This means that you treat your blog just like any other code - you write your articles using a text editor, run a command and the article is produced in its final form ready for consumption by web browsers. Maybe run another command, and your article gets uploaded to wherever your blog is actually served.

A little over two years ago, the Wordpress instance I had been “maintaining” to run my blog was hacked by a bunch
of script kiddies.
Not like I’m excusing them or anything, hacking someone’s hobby domain feels rather like walking into someone’s

It feels like there are new security issues around WordPress every week.
Admittedly, the fact that WordPress automatically updates itself helps a lot, but it does lead one to wonder if a simpler solution might make more sense.
I really like the idea of a static generator tool like Pelican, but also really enjoy blogging from my mobile devices with tools like Blogsy.
