If you use Jekyll, would you let _post/ folder to contain more than hundred of files? Wouldn't that be hard to query?

Also, how would you customize markdown?

Well in this case Jekyll becomes your cms and static site generator. You wouldn't pull your posts from Jekyll and then display them somewhere else.

As for the customizations, thr markdown is converted into HTML and css in the browser. You would use the same tools as you would any other static site. You could work from existing Jekyll templates, or create your own from scratch as needed.
