Hey, I'm glad that my comment helped somewhat. Expanding on the scaffolding bit, I'm using the most minimal tools I can use, since they don't let me do (very) fancy things, I can't spend time needlessly adjusting things. A single, markdown aware, automatically theme changing blog space is enough for me. No fancy things, just text, plus RSS.

People can follow and share. That's enough. Even the webpages doesn't have any JS.
