Next-Gen Blogging Platform? #6

Pollen post on Hacker News got my attention.
I could use this for an alternative blog site.

Is this feasible?
Is there facility for inserting header tags/snippets (for tracking, SEO, etc.) into the compiled file?

Will be watching progress.

Sure, you could use it for a blog. For instance, I converted my website Typography for Lawyers from WordPress to Pollen without a problem.

Bear in mind that Pollen works by rendering a set of static pages, not dynamically generating them. So it can’t handle, say, real-time commenting (though I imagine you could just plug that in with Disqus).

Beyond that, Pollen uses the familiar mechanism of HTML templates, so you can set up your page headers however you want.
