I use github.io with Jekyll. IMO, it's perfect: - it's the default GitHub blogging platform and well documented, the static generation is handled by GitHub. - I can run a local generator on my laptop and see how the content will look like before pushing content to the site. - free - no hassle with domain names. The thing is automatically linked to your github.com account. - git revision control out of the box. I have 80+ branches with blog posts in various state of completion. - markdown to write the content - people can clone my blog if they want to, for their own use, or to fix things and submit PRs. (It has happened a few times.) - longevity: I think github.com to exist longer than most other blogging platforms, and that it might very well outlast me. - Instead of https://tomverbeure.github.io https://tomverbeure.github.io, I could change the URL to my own domain, one doesn't have a github.io suffix, but why would I?
