I once implemented my blog as pure RSS, but also a website that could render arbitrary RSS feeds as a normal looking blog. (Passing the RSS feed via query parameter).

The nice part was that the bit that was mine was just a single static file.

The awkward part was the URLs looked crappy.

clever. i personally don't see the appeal of limiting my blog to rss readers only - i like having a web link that can be shared. this would almost be better as a sort of covert blog, like maybe a smallnet adjacent thing -- no potential to be shared on hackernews is a pro for many ppl.
