Since I want to start blogging again, of course I have to also change my software. That’s just out these things work.
And to start a new blog I need at least one post, otherwise things are breaky. So of course the first post must be the announcement I am changing my software.
I hope that explains this post; it is not intended to actually be of interest to you, the reader.

The post says March 4th, is this a bug? -- since today is April 3rd. Or did you write some time ago and only now it went live?
Apparently I got my date formats wrong. It's a little odd to me that this blog software seems to demand I manually enter my dates on posts.
In your settings, set DEFAULT_DATE='fs'. That way, file mtime will be used instead. See http://docs.getpelican.com/....
Also, the h1 class="entry-title" on the article+comments page has a bad href... which leads to a 404 that has other broken links, like the css, since the urls are relative.
I'd guess your using a static site generator. I'll look forward to hearing about it and your other blogging again. :)
Fixed, thanks for noticing!
Happy to help. :) btw, the links in the Discus notification e-mail I received redirected to http://localhost:8000 which I assume was your development server.
So... what is it, anyway?
It's Pelican: http://getpelican.com/
I haven't really been that happy with any of the static blog/site generators I looked at, but Pelican seems okay enough. It feels like templating is universally a mess.
That looks great! Can I steal it?
It's pretty much all in here: https://github.com/ianb/blog – the stylesheet is LESS so mixing around at least a few of the parameters is easy enough.
