Blog Engineering

<!--kg-card-begin: markdown--><p>I spend a considerable amount of time and effort considering the infrastructure and engine that powers this blog, far more than I’ve ever spent contributing actual content.</p>
<p>Recently I’ve been considering a move from Ghost to GitHub Pages. It’s the hip thing to do these days. <a href="http://blog.scottlowe.org">Scott Lowe</a> moved his over last month, <a href="http://jaycuthrell.com">Jay Cuthrell</a> moved his earlier last year. I’m sure there have been plenty more.</p>
<p>I’ve been playing with it for the last 24 hours or so. I can’t seem to decide if going to all the effort is worth it. I rather like what I’m using now (<a href="http://ghost.org">Ghost</a>), it’s pretty simple, but with just enough features to do what I <em>really</em> need it to do. It seems like spending time moving away from it, for me, is sort of a solution in search of a problem. I already write in Markdown inside Ghost (required) and was doing so on previous platforms for this site including <a href="http://octopress.org">Octopress</a> and <a href="http://www.marco.org/secondcrack">Second Crack</a>.</p>
<p>Might just stick with what works, and find more stuff to write about…</p>
