First Post
So I have a blog, powered by the, so far, impressive Movable Type engine. I chose Movable Type for a few reasons, not least being the way it handles content.
To explain: Movable Type, as far as I can tell, actually generates a static site, mostly. Ok, so a lot of it is dynamic, but the dynamic bits are mostly back-end scripts that I, and only I, interact with. The front-end of the site is static html and css, with some js thrown in for good measure. I like this because, in my mind, you shouldn't have to regenerate an entire page every time somebody wants to see the post.
So hopefully what you guys see on your end should be nice and fast static content.
Stay tuned for a post about politics and economics.
