Well, here we are.
In search of the leanest blog engine available, I've discovered chronicle blog compiler.
What is a "blog compiler"?
It's a program that takes text files and formats them into static web pages. Since the web pages are static, there isn't any more server load than would be extant in serving any html page (In other words, the server isn't rendering PHP or perl or python code every time someone loads the page, reducing server load).
I'm still writing the blog posts in html in a txt file like I was with Polkadot, just doing it on my local machine and then using rsync to upload it to the server (see? another reduction in server load)
In other news, anyone interested can find the old Polkadot blog over yonder
