If you ever want to try a new static site generator, I use Hugo[0] to generate my site. There's a lot of pre-built themes[1] you can use. Most (if not all) have blogging functionality built in, all you need to do is drop in a Markdown file with your content. You may need to learn a little bit if Golang if you want to customize themes. Just throwing it out there as an option.
