What is the best blogging platform for self hosters?

IMO, if you’re a dev you don’t really need a platform or a framework. If you’re on Linux, you would probably manage just fine with a makefile that uses pandoc (with a template) to convert your content to HTML5, hand-written CSS, and rsync to upload everything to a host like nearlyfreespeech.net or Dreamhost.

Using the pandoc tool with makefiles makes for a really good setup actually, pandoc is quite useful for applying settings and templates and all.
