How about just writing HTML in HTML?

Apache still supports server-side includes.

You can build a static website with m4 and a makefile if you really want to go nuts.

The language used in the following is NSFW (profanity) but that should be obvious from the URLs.

These are kinda satirical, but they show that most web development headaches and bloat are entirely self-inflicted. If you have to, you can get by with raw HTML. But your website can have little a CSS, as a treat. JavaScript, server-side logic, databases, and cookies are entirely optional if you're building a website and not a web application.

PS: Your blog doesn't need a comments section. People should quote, link, and comment on their own blogs instead of expecting you to provide them a soapbox.
PPS: If you want to use the Jekyll static site generator for building a website, you might be interested in the jekyll-oedipus-theme gem I'm working on for my own use. Code's available at https://github.com/matthewgraybosch/jekyll-oedipus-theme, but it's still rough/incomplete.#include <disclaimer.h>
