#2Switching over to a static blog was a ton of fun. I was a bit intimidated, but once I started rolling it wasn't any harder to set up than Wordpress.
The hardest part when I got started was getting a good theme. I wanted to do some tinkering, or buy a theme from a good source. There wasn't anything I liked.
Super excited for statiq.io

#4I'm excited to start with static blogging. I hate how slow my WordPress has been. Can't wait to try out one of these themes.

#5I know some of the designers involved in this project, and they are really good.
I run my own Pelican site, and these guys are revving for Jekyll right now. Once they get Pelican up and rolling, I'll start moving clients over too.

ask the spam accounts. i'm sure they'll be happy to fill you in... [it's serving static - pre-rendered html - web pages. like blogging with github or bitbucket, for example.]

Basically, instead of hosting a database on your server and using php to generate the pages on every request, like Wordpress does, you just create a text file for every page, and precompile your entire site into raw html files, so that it's really fast because there is no processing on the server.
