Our team is composed of non-technical people as well, so blog writing without having to know git was a requirement, thus we made up our own strategy, which is equally as interesting in my opinion: http://dojo4.com/blog/static-is-...

Before discovering Jekyll, I was scratching my head figuring out how to manage a website with more than two pages, or learning Wordpress. You can also add a CMS to it. Great tool.
I used to run my blog off of wordpress which was expensive and I would encounter lots of operational issues. I migrated to github pages which is free, more scalable, more reliable, and faster. Jekyll is what they use.
