Static site generators like Hugo!

That’s what I use right now too.

You install Hugo in your PC, add a theme from their library and start writing pages in markdown. Deploying the static site too a vps is really just an rsync command.

Fun!

Thanks, will give it a look!

There's an old saying: "If it's stupid but it works, it isn't stupid."

Tables still work and probably always will, whether they're meant for layout or not.

CGI on the other hand, has pretty much gone the way of the dinosaur. If you need that, you'll have to learn something new. Or find a very amenable host.

Never used CGI, so I don’t I’ll need it, was looking mainly for some software with a wide variety of themes so I can get inspired by…

Just please throw a role=“presentation” tag in so the screen readers to ignore

I just paid for bear blog because it’s a small open source project guy who runs it has values I agree with.

I just built one for myself with React (specifically wanted to learn the framework). And no other real UI libraries, so it’s effectively just HTML+CSS built with React components. I started off with some tables and then experimented with flexbox when I made it responsive for mobile. But I have it deployed as a basic static site so I think that precludes using a CMS or something like that (not sure I’m kind of a noob to web dev).

Anyway I think there’s nothing wrong with it, I’m pretty happy how it turned out. I don’t think you necessarily need some complicated stack especially for a simple personal site 👍

I’d rather see your personal page with HTML tables than yet another CSS framework clone.
