So I am still trying to make/use just a simple CMS for news/blog-style updates to my website. I really do not want to use a CMS as the main engine of the site and have to style everything. I prefer to write my own HTML/CSS and then just integrate some sort of news. I don't care a lot about SEO, nor will I need extensive tagging, or even commenting. I really just want something where I can post text/pics/video easily and have it integrated into my site. I also do not want to have to constantly maintain the software for security updates. This has ultimately led me down a path to attempting to use a tumblr account and then put it into an iframe. Tumblr is especially nice since it will also link to facebook for updates (and twitter if I ever want to). However, as most of you know, iframes can get ugly scroll bars if the content overruns the window. Dynamic resizing basically seems impossible for cross domain linking. I am thinking just make a fixed height iframe and then try to manage the content size on the tumblr page to make sure it does not overrun (this is real ghetto but might be my best option).

I suppose I could also just do updates on the actual html page as I am doing now, but this is not as easy or organized as a CMS. Any suggestions/comments?
