I used to run my own blog, but I became disillusioned with the direction HTML/CSS/JavaScript was taking. I lost confidence that my content would continue to be readable in future browsers. I know I could have customised a solution that perfectly preserved the content, but it would have been a lot of work, plus ongoing maintenance.
Now I have a Medium blog and I export articles to PDF for safekeeping. Dead easy.
- etskinner 9y agoWhy not just stick with basic HTML and CSS? Isn't it likely that Medium will fall out of favor faster? There are many static site generators out there that perform just fine for blogs, and are not hard to use.
- dboreham 9y agoYou can also use Wordpress to address this issue, and still have self-hosting.

Can you tell us why you feel this way? Any current browser can display websites that are 20 years old just fine. You really don't need anything fancy to display static content.
