One of the reason I like static websites is because of the low overhead on the server.

Also you don't have to back up the website because it's already on your computer. Just backup your computer.

And because of this static websites are very portable and can even be run on free hosts. Just be sure to use your own domain so when the free host goes squirelly you can move.

Blogs, audio, video, full websites all have static host solutions.

I've been using Nikola - getnikola.com/ for my two blogs for the last few years, and I'm finding the mechanics cumbersome.

I thought it was just a matter of acclamating, but it's not. It's been quite a while and quite a number of posts, and it's not getting any easier.

My needs are so minimal, I'm thinking I should maybe look into moving to another static site generator.

Hugo is what all the cool kids are using, but when I look at it I get intimidated by the whole go module based theme thing and ... Uck. I just need something utterly DUMB ASS simple.

Does anyone use something like this that they like? Am I over-inflating Hugo's complexity?

The truth is I was a pretty happy Wordpress user back in the day, but I was an idjit and ran my site poorly so it got knocked over by a script kiddie.
