A folder of HTML files is enough

October 2026 · Placeholder post

Every few years I rebuild this site with whatever framework I am curious about at the time, and every few years the framework moves on without me. The old blog is still sitting in a folder called old-blog, rendered once and never touched again, and it is the only version that has never broken.

So this time the plan is boring on purpose: one HTML file per post, one shared stylesheet, and a list on the front page that I edit by hand. If it ever gets tedious I can put a small script in front of it, but the output stays the same plain files a browser from 2005 could read.

What I actually need

A readable column of text, images that can go a little wider than the text, and a link back home. Anything beyond that is something I would have to maintain, and I would rather spend that time writing.
