I never did find a self-hosted blogging system that I liked, so I just made my own. Basically just githooks+php into a small, mostly html site. I wanted something simple and easy, and could be used from almost any browser (even lynx!)
IMO, lots of blogging platforms add completely unnecessary cruft. Some people may want it, and it definitely can be useful, but not for me.
Yeah, I did the same way. In the n-th iteration it's become quite the beast, and it's not static, but it does exactly what I want how I want it, and I would trade nothing I saw so far for it.
