This truly feels like https://www.aleksandra.codes/tech-content-consumer/ https://www.aleksandra.codes/tech-content-consumer/, where every blog post rehashes the well tread territory of Hugo/Jenkins/Netlify/GH Pages or Wordpress/Blogger/Ghost/Medium/Neocities, or even the newish "minimal" ones like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23313196 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23313196. You can even blog to specific audiences with the rise of "send a newsletter" SaaS things!
IMO, very few people are at a loss on "where to blog" or "how to blog", but rather actually writing. If you're a dev, you've got text files you can serve (or convert to html). If you're a non-tech person, you've got a dearth of places to blog on, with nearly a decade of tutorials about how to setup a domain and site. It feels like the demand for these "where to blog" posts are mostly to bikeshed on the tools and not actually the writing part.
- Stratoscope 6y ago> you've got a dearth of places to blog on "Dearth" means "scarcity"; you probably mean "wide variety" or "plethora" if you like alliteration.
- fenwick67 6y agoAs someone who has written 3 static site generators, like 5 themes for them, and only 2 blog posts, this resonates so hard with me.
- compiler-guy 6y agoFrom the article: "That led to a number of questions as to where one should create a blog..." So apparently, enough people are at a loss on where to blog that asked him that he thought it was worth a post.
- F_J_H 6y agoAs options proliferate, it's nice to have a recommendation. I appreciate this post for that reason.
