The Butler is a ready to use static blog, powered by Cecil.
Create your own repository from the GitHub template, then just edit Markdown files in pages/blog/.
The easiest way to deploy and manage your blog is certainly with Netlify + Netlify CMS.
- Change configuration by editing
config.ymlfile - Change templates by copying files from
themes/<theme>/layouts/to your ownlayouts/directory to override them
