I rebuilt my blog on django in college (it was previously on Drupal, IIRC, prior that rewrite) and ran it that way for many years. It was a good experience. I used the django admin as my only CMS, and it got the job done. It was an interesting way to run a blog and I was happy with it for those years. A few years ago I got tired of running it. Cheap VPSes have an expense in management time (making sure everything is up to date, distro upgrades, etc) and I didn't think the managed django hosts that I was aware of were worth the costs and static hosts sites got cheap as free again (just like when I was a kid; back when my blog started before blog was a word) so I switched to a static generator (again). (In this case Jekyll because of Github momentum at the time I switched.) Django is a great choice and you can have some fun with it! Others are suggesting SSGs because they are cheaper and easier (they are), but it is your blog and you should have fun with it.
