[kwlug-disc] Website management tools

[Andrew Sullivan Cant]

Another interesting service for hosting a simple blog might also be
Ghost, https://ghost.org/.
They have a service and their project is FLOSS and can be locally
installed too.

Someone has also investigate publishing statically and editing with
Ghost locally.

Would get you a nice editor, and a the simplicity of deploying a static
site.
