All the simple old stuff still works. I recently set up a blog [1] that is just:
* Each post is a plain HTML file, served as-is.
* I make new posts by copying a template HTML file which has a small amount of basic structure and includes an external CSS file.
* When I write a new post, I run a script that scans the HTML files and makes an index.
If at some point I want something fancier I can extend it, which I've done over the years for my main blog, but for now it does what I need it to do.
