While this website was supposed to originally be a place to contain all of my projects and an outlet where I could write "articles", which were essentially blog entries. Therefore a traditional blog style format makes more sense for this website. However, due to the fact that all content on this website was written manually, it was difficult to do any sort of consistent blogging. While many blog generators exist, I decided to write my own.
SimpleBlog is a very simple static blog generator written in C++ that was designed specifically for my website. Instead of manually writing HTML pages, one can write an index file, which contains metadata and blog content, and SimpleBlog can automatically parse the entry and write HTML. When compiled, the program is a simple command line utility that is easy to use and very fast.
SimpleBlog is fully open source with the source code available on Github, I may publish releases on this website as well as the project matures.
