Okay, I said no static site generator, but I will be using Pandoc to convert markdown into HTML. Which I guess is *kind* of the same thing? Sorta.
When I was a kid making little static websites, I used to write everything straight into HTML in Notepad. It made me feel like a hacker. But I don't think even my faux-luddite-ass could go back to that.
Also, I use #Vim btw.
