Yes.

If the blog posts are being written in texinfo, then these posts
would just be "news" items.  Nothing strange.  Write a doc patch,
test with "make website", git-cl, review, etc.  Or we could even
skip the review and push straight to staging as long as you test
with "make doc" first.

If you want to write the posts in rst or markdown, then you'd want
to look at a static site generator, like pelican or nikola.  I've
been experimenting with nikola for my own website (not uploaded
yet).  While you investigate those programs, you should check that
they can integrate nicely with the existing website.

If you don't have experience with static site generators and our
website build process, ETA 20 hours to get a decent "hello world".
This time includes responding to patch reviews.
