Hi, I'm Mark. I've run a pretty DIY personal website since around 2004. Since 2010 it's at https://www.kmjn.org/; before that I used grad student webspace under gatech.edu.
As a result of experimenting with different things at different times, I use a hodge-podge of technologies to maintain the site (I don't necessarily recommend them, but they work for me):
- The main top-level pages are just plain hand-written HTML+CSS.
- The blog is also mostly hand-written HTML, but I have a home-rolled Perl script (written around 2010) that generates the table of contents, headers/footers on posts, and the Atom feed.
- My publications page is generated by a Common Lisp script that I wrote around 2017 as a replacement for bibtex2web, which I used for years but found difficult to modify to my liking.
- I have a paper-reading log that I usually forget to update. This one is generated by a bash script and a Mustache template.
