Since I love responsive software, initial install of wordpress on a VPS was feeling sluggish. And I noticed some blogs loading faster then others. These were static blogs, that I later found out. Using common sense and thinking about it. Web applications need to be called by web server, they do some logic, get data from database, create output and present it back to the user. With static websites all the content is generated so all the above steps do not need to be executed. And that saves server resources, and time, so the website loads way faster. Hooray for static site generators. I choose Pelican since I was checking out Python, it was a natural way to go. This site is build using static site generator Pelican
