- nine_k 8y agoBlogspot.com is terribly heavyweight and requires JS.
- Santosh83 8y agoAgree. I find my use case for a small, personal site cum blog perfectly satisfied by Github Pages. Plain HTML and CSS, no Javascript. Now that Github Pages has Let's Encrypt support, there's no need to front it with Cloudflare (though the SSL support right now is not without bugs. The auto-renewal for my domain has been stuck for months now.)
- bpye 8y agoNetlify works for me with SSL and Let's Encrypt. Auto renewal works, I deploy from GitHub and use their CDN. Easy peasy.
- y4mi 8y ago> cum blog Eww ;) Isn't it "come", short for become?

- y4mi 8y agoThanks for pointing that out! I guess I've once again proven how lacking my understanding of the English language really is. But that's how it often is as a non native speaker ... Everything is fine until you have the strangest misconception.
- majewsky 8y agoWell, technically it's showing a lack of understanding of the Latin language, since "cum" is Latin for "with".
- tomjen3 8y agoHonestly I do perfectly fine with a host and some autogeneration. I have considered just editing the raw HTML and keeping it in git, but it seems a tad pointless.
- fxfan 8y agoHe said anti-medium which meant he was opposed to the visibility too. Also, blogspot is still heavy when it comes to account creation and what not.
