ahoy Marc,

	thanks for the recommendations.  my research/experience is also leading me to a statically generated site: the upfront complexity of developing+using a tool (i am not a programmer by day) seems well worth it for file+directory based configuration and the simple hosting.  just need to find something that fits.  and if you ever decide to share your solution i would be happy to take a look ;)

	thanks again and looking forward to your new site.

peace, w
