If you like writing some code, want full control (i.e. payload size, extensibility, theming, etc) with some OOTB features (i.e. zero setup, server rendering, static exporting, etc), and don't mind react or markdown, I'd recommend nextjs + netlify.
I find Gatsby and Hugo very powerful; but miss the simplicity of Jykell. Even if you don't think nextjs is great for blogging, it's still worth checking out! Their docs + getting started guide are some of the best.
For example; writing up a small MVP site to test out a business idea (https://www.hiredsomehelp.com/ https://www.hiredsomehelp.com/), it's in progress, but even still, only took about 15 minutes to push up via netlify.
That being said, I feel like all these new static site generators are terrific; a real sweet spot in web development in my opinion :)
Stay the hell away from Wordpress. It. Will. Get. You. When you least expect it ️
