Paul, this may be what you're looking for.  Stumbled upon it via a
website called onethingwell.org (do one thing and do it well - looks
like an interesting RSS feed.  Have a look at:

Looks like static HTML pages plus a make file or two builds your site
locally, and you can then rsync it wherever you want.  I'm going to
check it out - looks compelling!

sblg(1) is a utility for creating static blogs: it knits together
articles and templates, generating static HTML files and Atom feeds.
It's built for use with make(1), as blogs depend upon articles, etc. No
markdown, no CMS, no CGI, no PHP. Just a simple tool for pulling data
from articles and populating templates. sblg(1) is an ISC licensed ISO C
utility that depends only on libexpat. (Where simple encompasses Atom
feeds, multi-language support, tag filtering, etc.)

How does it work? You write your HTML content and templates (usually
with a Makefile); sblg(1) pulls content and metadata from the articles
and merges this into the the templates. There are different ways of
populating templates: a standalone mode, which pasts a single article
into a template; and amalgation mode, with multiple articles.
Amalgamation mode can merge entire articles as well as just article
snippets and metadata for navigation and summary purposes.

To get started, download sblg.tar.gz (SHA512), decompress, and run make
install. The current version is 0.2.10, released on 2015-11-19.

 2015-11-19: version 0.2.10 Add a ${sblg-stripbase} version of
${sblg-base} that also removes the directory part. The same has been
added to the positional references like ${sblg-next-base}.

 2015-08-04: version 0.2.9 Bug-fix: when reading the time from an
article (via the <time> element), sblg was looking only at the first
attribute. This has been fixed: all attributes are examined until
finding the time.
