I use Jekyll to manage my blog content. It’s been around a long time and is stable. It’s also highly configurable providing me with plenty of options. I selected it as my CMS because Wordpress and Blogger had become worn as an old toothbrush. Plus, everyone tends to use the free version which means adverts. I despise online ads even while acknowledging that’s how most web sites are funded.

Looking around at other blog feeds I follow, I only find one other maverick blogger – Koos van den Hout, PE4KH. His site, idefix.net appears home grown though there could be some underlying content engine. I’ll ask him about it as I work on a new article about how hams are rolling blogs these days. If you know of another ham radio blog NOT using WP or Blogger drop me a note (jeff@ke9v.net) and let me know.
