Static files vs database-backed blogging systems
Database
I prefer the database because it's easy to write, read, and search. The database is good for frequent posting like I do, especially with the "notes" or microblog posts. And I want the wiki-like features, such as double-bracket case to create links to articles, versioning, differences, redirects, and template includes even if I don't use these features every day. I guess Junco-powered JotHut.com is less of a blogging system and more of a publishing app. It's my personal content management or knowledge management system that is used to store many types of text content, such as ideas, opinions, notes, and recipes. I want to be able to create and edit notes and articles from not only my laptop but also from a tablet, dumbphone, and smartphone. I'm not concerned with traffic. It's information meant primarily for me. I want a place to store and retrieve information that interests me.
For infrequent blogging or publishing, like once a day or only a few times a week or month, then I could see the acceptance of a static site generator. This also may only work well when using a desktop/laptop. Can a user create or edit posts on a phone or tablet by using a static site app? It seems that static site apps require too many steps to publish an article.
To publish a microblog or note at JotHut, which uses my Junco code:
- enter text into small textarea box on the homepage
- click the post button
To publish a blog or article at JotHut:
- click the hamburger icon
- click post
- enter text into textarea box
- click the post button
