The most important question is what posting workflow do you want?
If you want to post only from your computer, then you can go with any of the thousands of static-site generators that are available out there.
If you're OK with posting by pushing a git commit on a repository, then you can post from multiple machines provided that you set up all the actions or CI/CD pipelines to make it work. Some people love setups like this, but it is not for me.
If you want to spend more time writing than fiddling with your blogging system, you can go with a ready-made one such as Wordpress, Ghost, Write.As, Blogger, etc. Usually they have both SaaS and self-hosted versions. Keeping a self-hosted Wordpress safe requires constant attention to updates.
I wrote about how my own blog works[1][2], which is a setup that I don't really recommend for those that just want something simple.
If I were you, I'd invest in a VPS and self-host something. If your objective is blogging for the long run, then you need to own your own platform. SaaS come and go, they change, your data need to be under your control if you're gonna do it for years to come.
