This is interesting. I have been trying to build personal blog solutions for this very purpose. I first started web development writing blog files as JSON and ajaxing them into my site (when it was a single page site) and later on with PHP JSON parsing (when it was a PHP site). Lately I am working on a node version of my site which uses a markdown library, while the other pages are still EJS templates, the blog posts are rendered markdown pages.
Looking forward to following your article later in free time to give this a try myself, not sure I'm fond of making the entire website as markdown though.
I was definitely hesitant at first with developing with just markdown. There's a lot of limitations that come with this approach. But within those limitations I found myself being at ease with not continuously "optimizing" my workflow.
I'd be interested to see what you come up with. Always looking to improve the personal site process. Good luck!

Hi Michael,
Thank you for the feedback!
