I’ve been running a self hosted instance of ghost for years now (link in my profile). It’s great! My stuff just sits there, never at risk of a policy change banning my work. I can write whatever I want. The URLs are easily memorized and I hand them out all the time.
I don’t run analytics. I have no idea how many people have read my writing. I’m okay with that. I actually thought nobody reads my site but one day a piece I had just published hit hacker news, so I guess somebody is watching. I keep the content so I can refer people to it, and as a record of my thinking over time. I share the links when relevant in an online discussion.
I highly recommend it! I should say, I was inspired by Paul Graham and his essays. Just keeping it simple and putting good ideas out there. Oh and I licensed all my work as CC0, so anyone can copy it for any purpose.
