     Thanks @asynchronaut, @fbiville, and @henrikjernevad for your recommendations!

     I've expanded the blog post a little and noted your suggestions, all of which look preferable to the two SSGs I initially tried out.

     @underlap Wow, i'd never heard of any of those!! And i haven't gotten around to learning Rust yet

     I used Jekyll when I needed to create a static site.

     I asked bing/copilot for the steps to
     a) install it (it's based on ruby gems and i'm partial to ruby),
     b) install a template so formatting is Not My Problem, and
     c) build it and deploy it to a VPS

     ...because i do NOT have spare brainspace for things like this
