Cool! We use something similar for our "shared" blog at dev.aboutus.org. We generate HTML from markdown files via jekyll and it scales really well.

:) this one goes to great length to be as short as possible. No need to install ruby or python, only Multimarkdown. There is no configuration, it mostly cat bits and pieces of files into an html file for each post and an index file. You can modify these bits and pieces and that's it.
