When its just me managing content on my site, I go jamstack. Jekyll + Netlify

But once I need to delegate blog posting to someone, there still isn’t an easy/fast setup for that.

I might begrudgingly port the site to WP just to have blog post publishing CMS.

I tried implementing NetlifyCMS and Forestry.

Both were clunky, hard for my team to use, preview posts, etc. And both have a painful wait time for deployment just to see changes.

Also—I don’t want to spend time rebuilding the site. I *just* want to plug in simple CMS-ability *only* for blog posts. I’ll continue to manage the other pages in code.

Why is this such a pain?

Conclusions:

1. The internet needs more CMS’s (hah!). Tried many of em now.

2. Wordpress still checks all the boxes for a blog CMS (inviting team, saving drafts, scheduling, previewing, etc.).

3. My static pages will remain HTML wrapped in WP theme. Kinda rediculous.
