Time appropriate greetings, folks!
I have finally put an end to my procrastination and finally wrote my first blog post. Thing is, I still have nowhere to publish it. What stack are you all using for your personal pages, folks? I don’t really want to spend a whole lot of time tinkering, but I still want some wiggle room to do so in case I change my mind down the line.
Thanks!
SSG (Hugo) and send it to Codeberg. I did a tiny bit of tinkering, but I like to keep things simple. I actually don’t understand how a lot of it works but I haven’t broke it yet.
I like writing in markdown so I use Hugo, and when I do a git push it gets sent to github pages (which is free as long as the repo and website is public!) There’s a lot of themes so you don’t have to tinker around much if you don’t want to. But it’s pretty easy to make some css changes / additions.
Digital Ocean Droplet, Wordpress (with Generate Press block theme), Self-hosted Plausible Analytics for traffic stats.
I was considering this. How much does it set you back? Do you just use the £5 servers?
I currently use Hugo and publish with Sourcehut. I’ve been thinking of changing my stack but I’ve not settled on anything and I’m not sure if changing is necessarily a good idea. One thing I’d like to be able to use by switching is Tailwind.
That said, I recommend using whatever is simplest for you to use. It’s easy to make your blog an experiment instead of using it as a writing tool.
Wow things have moved on a lot since I had a blog on Blogspot by the sounds of it!
