What's the minimum viable blog feature set these days?
- Rich text posts
- Titles
- Permalinks
- Tags/categories
- Navigation
- RSS feed
- Images hosted locally
- Media embed (remote or local?)
- Author info for multi-author blogs
I won't back down on RSS/Atom, because there's SO MUCH you & subscribers can do with it.
I also think images have got to be built-in & not something you bolt on clumsily afterward.
Not sure if I'd consider comments part of the base level.
What else am I missing?

To clarify, by rich text I mean the *result* needs to support rich text. The source can be HTML, Markdown, some rich-text editor, whatever.

Last I tried Plume & WriteFreely, they didn't support images, though IIRC you could embed remote images in at least one.
Static site generators I've tried like Jekyll require you to bolt on separate commenting systems like Disqus, or jump through hoops to roll your own in a way that will re-generate the site when someone comments (and you still have to reinvent spam filtering)

@KelsonV
I still want to look into Jekyll plus Bridgy https://brid.gy, but yeah, we could do with more/better commenting solutions, especially federated ones.
