I very much like Jekyll because writing content is simply a case of creating a markdown file in the relevant directory and writing it in Vim.

It's super simple, as it should be :) Here is an example of a blog post I wrote for my Jekyll-powerd blog: https://raw2.github.com/rey/reyhan.org/gh-pages/_posts/2013-03-12-jekyll-archive-without-plugins.md

Jekyll generates HTML that can be put on any server that serves static
files.

The advantage of Jekyll is that you can define templates and includes
that simplify your development work and reduce repetition in your code.

Using markdown, textile or another text to html generators, helps
content creators to write their texts without having to worry about html.
It's rendered into your jekyll template and stored as a simple html file.

In the end you have to distribute the generated html, images and css
files and nothing more.

Cheers
