The author found Org Mode lacking: "I find the export tools available for Org Mode are not quite powerful (or fast) enough for a large blog. I got pretty far trying to get the export features to suit, but not far enough – generation of a large site took too long, and customization was too unwieldy."

Tangle scripts in sed and (g)awk because Org-mode tangling takes to much time.

See http://jgkamat.gitlab.io/blog/website1.html for details.
https://ogbe.net/blog/blogging_with_org.html is another example. The article https://ogbe.net/blog/moar_monitors.html describes how X11 and VNC can provide an additional display. Maps are discussed on https://ogbe.net/blog/self-hosted-maps

Nice blog design, inspired by the Tufte Jekyll theme
https://github.com/kmayer/tufte-jekyll
which in turn is based on
https://github.com/edwardtufte/tufte-css which is demonstrated on https://edwardtufte.github.io/tufte-css/
The latter uses CSS, so it should be possible to use it with org-mode.

Later, I rediscovered the blog via Sacha Chua's link https://takeonrules.com/2024/05/18/a-quiet-morning-of-practice-to-address-an-observed-personal-computering-workflow-snag/ on https://sachachua.com/blog/2024/05/2024-05-20-emacs-news/
I like the https://takeonrules.com/site-map/epigraphs/
https://takeonrules.com/2025/06/14/re-the-cult-of-hard-mode is also interesting, so is

Another blog using org-mode. Recommends https://ambrevar.xyz/blog-architecture/index.html but that produces a 404 error as of 2023-05-12.

Another blogging tool for org-mode. Appears to be dormant, but I might find some useful things there. Found via https://orgmode.org/tools.html where the wrong URL is used https://renard.github.com/o-blog instead of .io
