Medium works out of the box. It should work if you don't want to spend too much time thinking about where and how to write. It is the place I recommend starting for any person interested in writing, not setting up a website. If you want to have your website, GitHub Pages + a static site generator works well. Facebook/LinkedIn etc are the most closed gardens, and I wouldn't recommend them unless it's where your audience is and your posts are not intended to be evergreen. Regardless of the above, I think what is crucial: - Just write. Where is secondary and can be changed later, don't agonize over that. Just pick the first which is "good enough" and see if it fulfills your needs over the course of your blog posts. - Make sure to have some backups anywhere. Every server can change its ToS, shut down, or make its usage (and data export) cumbersome.
