Pelican is a static site generator. You write your content in
MarkDown or RST, and then Pelican compiles it into a website by
applying a theme and CSS styles.

Performance is high, because your webserver is only handing out
existing files. Security is high, because your webserver isn't
allowing any writes to anything.

My personal blog is at https://blog.randomstring.org 

You can see many examples at http://pelicanthemes.com

Pelican is packaged for Debian. Although we are a few releases
behind mainline, the difference is all in new features, not 
security.
