New comment by PuffinBlue in "Static site generators need less rigid content APIs"

Yep. I'm hopeful that someone will inevitably turn up in the comments and reveal a great way to do it but everything I've seem is just janky and awkward.

I've basically stopped using my static site as a result of media management being a pain. I'm probably going to do back to Wordpress or something (shock horror!). Wordpress isn't hard to manage at all quite frankly, it's just a different set of compromises compared to a static site. It's also super easy to manage rich media and as I'm falling squarely on the side of 'get shit done' it's looking like a good option.

It's trivial to cache it well and update it. Yeah it's not as secure but there's a risk vs usability judgement that has to be made. And I think I'd prefer to be producing content and having some good backups rather than just not use my site.
