Eh. I don't get the Jekyll thing. I'd much rather run my own server.
After using Blogger, WordPress, and Ghost for years in various forms, I decided (for various reasons) to just write a simple blog engine of my own to power my site. The result is here: https://github.com/BenOvermyer/obelisk-blog-engine
It's not elegant, it's not extensible, and it's not really intended for anyone but me. But it works, and it's fully under my control. Any failings with it are mine, not that of anyone else.
