Blo

Static site generator for personal blogs that builds posts from Markdown files and Jinja2 page templates.

Blo is a static site generator for personal blogs, installed with pip. The blo post command creates a new note from a draft template and blo build builds the site from Markdown posts and Jinja2 page templates. The blo serve command runs the blog locally. Global site variables and paths live in default.json, and the draft templates live in draft_templates.json.

Worth knowing

A new type of content takes an HTML template in the templates folder and an entry in draft_templates.json, as the README’s customize section describes. The GitHub repository has only one release, while the PyPI package that the install command names has later ones.
