I don't know if you've looked into static site generators, but that may
be an option which will allow templating similar to the dynamic CMS
solutions, while only presenting static HTML/CSS and (should you choose)
some javascript to the world.

In example, http://caterva.org (my note taking device on my server
playground) is generated by hakyll (http://jaspervdj.be/hakyll/).

An interesting article on ruby offerings is at
http://www.mickgardner.com/2012/12/an-introduction-to-static-site.html.

And a mini-review of the different generators is at
https://github.com/skx/static-site-generators.

I use vim to edit markdown formatted articles, then type `bin/site build
&& bin site/deploy`, which generates any new content, and deploys the
changed portions of the site via ssh-encapsulated rsync.
