At the dentist on Friday:
A Herbert Grönemeyer song played on the radio and my dentist started whistling along while I was on the dentist’s chair.
Too funny.

WordPress alternatives
I briefly started talking about WordPress alternative with @persillie the other evening.
Downsides of WordPress:
- It’s slow
- It’s not easy enough to use for non-techies
- Adding a shop could be a lot easier
She mentioned Squarespace:
I like the user interaction of #squarespace – but you need to be a US, Canadian, Irish or british resident to use the shop.

I found two articles with further ideas to explore:
5 Modern WordPress Alternatives to Keep an Eye On
Goodbye WordPress: 2014 Will Be the Year of the Flat-File CMS
Statamic, Craft, Ghost, Kirby, Perch, Jekyll
I looked at Jekyll very briefly some months ago. But I didn’t dig in enough. It’s for techies. I don’t think it will solve the user interaction issues that non-techies have.
BTW, way back in 2009 somebody used WordPress to generate flat files.
I’m looking at HTML5 templates. I played around with some of the designs at HTML5UP last year. I found this site, based on the HTML5 Boilerplate, yesterday.

I think this is a great development. Instead of trying to get people to use PGP… maybe this will catch on.
Try and get an account!
Update, 5 May 2015:
There’s another company in this space called Lavaboom.Secure email provider @LavaboomHQ
