Hey fellow makers!
Ever since I launched One Word Domains five months ago, I've been wanting to set up a blog for the site, both for content marketing purposes as well as for me to document some of the cool things that I learn in the process of building the tool.
However, I had a problem choosing a suitable blogging CMS (content management system) for my needs – what I was looking for was a simple and free static-site solution that was easy to customize + integrates well with my existing stack (Heroku, Flask, PostgreSQL, Python, HTML/CSS, JavaScript), not a full-fledged CMS that's bloated with features that I will never use.
And this is when I came across this blog post by James Harding. 10 lines of code later, I've successfully set up my very own Markdown-powered static site for the One Word Domains Blog.
Therefore, I've decided to write about my experience so you can hopefully figure out how to set up a lightweight blogging CMS for your Flask web-app in lesser time! Here's the post:

Let me know if you have any questions about this! :)
This is great Steven thanks. I'm also plan to start a blog on Monday how're you finding getting views to your website?
Hi @invalidsyntax, can you take a look at my product Swish (link), and let me know if it'll work for your blog?
Even if you don't intend to use it, I'd really appreciate your feedback.
Glad you liked it! I think if you can come up with quality content, a blog can be a great source of high-quality organic traffic to your website!
