Kudos to you for doing this! You certainly caught my attention upon writing the terms "static", "syndication", and "analytics"! But a few questions: 1. Can this be self-hosted? I ask because why else would you mention that it is java-centric. (I'd much prefer to control my own data, as do others I imagine.) 2. Also, is syndication expected to be a la POSSE? (See http://indiewebcamp.com/POSSE )

Again, kudos and good luck to you!

Thanks! Actually I mentioned Java as a marketing ploy (most of the other platforms are written in Node, Ruby, or PHP).

However, I have been considering a self-hosted option. But I originally planned for that to be geared more toward enterprise situations.

A la POSSE sounds about right!

Thanks again!

Have you thought about version control? I hate Wordpress because its idea of version control is so 1980's, it's more or less like RCS or SCCS.

Why would anyone ever want a changeset? /sarcasm

This is definitely something worth looking into, thanks for bringing it up! I was planning to involve checksums in an API article lookup and storing changes in an archive might be an interesting thing to do as well.
404 page not found. Certainly simpler and faster.
How will this differ from the many static site generators already available? Is it only the fact that you host the site?
tons of your pages are 404s (including most of your static assets, so when there is content, it is completely unstyled)
This is an issue with Wordpress on my old blog that I believe was caused when I changed subdomains. It has nothing to do with Blogful so it is not something I'm extremely interested in dealing with. I plan to migrate the two non-post pages over to Blogful and leave the old blog as an archive in whatever state it is in.
OP's was definitely more of a marketing tip; also brokenness may hurt your Google juice.
You are right. Getting things cleaned up is definitely one of my highest priorities. I appreciate the reminder.
