Obviously, Irreal is published with WordPress. Some folks complain about WordPress but I’m very happy with it. It’s provides a simple and easy to maintain blogging platform that, along with org2blog, allows me to concentrate on writing rather than continually fussing with my CMS. It’s not the only solution, of course.
It’s possible to generate a static site and publish it on Github using Jekyll and Org mode. It’s a nice solution and, arguably, gives you a bit more control. Certainly, you don’t have to worry about a database and backing it up. It turns out that it’s not too difficult to set up a site in this manner.
Gopar over at pygopar.com has a handy write up on how to configure your site. It’s a step-by-step guide so it’s easy to follow and should have you up and running in no time at all. Now all you have to do is write your blog posts in Org mode and publish them to the site. Again, Gopar gives you the details.
