I recommend a static generator such as Jekyll [1]. If you want a boilerplate to get up and running quickly, i've put the source of my blog [2] on Github: https://github.com/metachris/jekyll-boilerplate

Yup, static page generator + github pages is the best way to do what you're wanting to do.

Don't forget that you can also host jekyll blogs on github pages!

If you want more hackable one and like Python, go with Pelican. Amazing software.

I really like the setup of your blog! It would be a very good start for me to get back into blogging.

Does it automatically create an rss feed link also?
