Hello,

I have about 3/4 blogs on Ghosts.

Is it advisable to get a blog per see without a project but just a blog for blogging purpose?

I want to know how the development pace is, what are the road maps for Jekyll. Seems this is a side feature and not a core product, what are the hopes that this could be a serious blogging platform?

hmm, I guess it depends on what you expect and mean by `serious`. It is an open source project, I’d say it is fairly mature (?) at this point though it still gets regular updates.

I’d describe it as a static site generator that started out as a blog platform rather than a focused blogging solution/app. Things like comments are not likely to ever be a core part of it as that is not very static friendly - that said there are options out there for comments.

Jekyll does a lot of different things for different people, and the GH pages integration is probably more important to it that anything to do with blogging.

Just my 2 cents as a user.
