Hello, and welcome. A static website generator is a safe bet. You can use bashblog or any similar alternative, for example. Bashblog can be seen in action at http://www.richard-falken.com Bashblog might need some hacking in the code in order to include social media buttons, but the CSS is easy enough to configure. No native comment services exist, but it can integrate with external ones. For the record, I don't like commentary mechanisms that work as an external service to your website. In fact, I would not care for a commentary mechanism unless you really needed it. A commentary mechanism forces you to deploy anti-spam defenses, to police against trolls and is one of those things that don't let you stop worrying about the administrative aspects of being running a website. Regards.
