Hi, I am creating a marketing website on bootstrap, and I wondered if Jekyll is a good solution to create a (simple) blog within that site, in a page of its own. The client has to be able to write and post himself. What do you think, is Jekyll a good solution? Should I consider Wordpress or others? Thanks! Guil Hernandez

Wordpress might be a better option for a client. Depends on how comfortable they are writing a markdown file and loading to a server.

Could that be done with the .com version of Wordpress?
