What's best way to host a blog on DO?

I was wondering if anyone has suggestions on the best way to host a blog? I’ve used WP in the past and that would probably do the job fine but it’d be more interested to try something else. I don’t have a lot of criteria:

1. Relatively easy to use once it’s installed.
2. The actual blog posts can be done in HTML5 and in Markdown. For example, I’d like to be able to do some straight forward posts just using Markdown and maybe HTML for things like embedding videos. I’ve done a few demos using Screenflow that I’d like to post.
3. It should look sharp and clean without a lot of design effort. I’m more of a techie so I’m not interested in spending a lot of time on design.

Thanks.
