Hexo

Quick note on my thought with Hexo.

Pros:

• Static website (except comments) : I can just publish my blog by using github pages, or any free web hosting service
• Use GitHub flavored Markdown : I think markdown is good for blogging, especially that you can just surround all code snippets with ``` symbol without converting anything.
• Easy to include image : Each post can have a folder to include all assets, and then use Hexo tags to include them in the post.
• Extensible : Various plugins are available for Hexo.

Cons:

• No way to customize color scheme in themes : I’ve checked many Hexo themes and none of them provide options to adjust colors in _config.yml, looks like this is not encouraged.
• No easy way to unpublish articles : there is a publish command, but not unpublish. Right now I need to manually move artivles back to _draft folder to unpublish it.

More updates in future.
