If you’re open to spending a bit, I highly recommend a hosted Ghost.js blog (around $11/month). It gives me full control over my content and domain, and I can choose to keep it ad-free. In my opinion, it’s a far better option for building your personal brand compared to platforms like Medium or DEV.to, which often have paywalls and can be cluttered with garbage low-quality content.

+1 for Ghost. The platform really is all about blogging. It’s ecosystem is not as huge was the WordPress ecosystem, but substantial nonetheless. Building a custom theme for Ghost is also far more accessible for beginners than building a Wordpress theme, at least in my experience

  You can also self-host Ghost. Which I did for a while, but didn’t want to spend my free time being a sysadmin. I decided paying for hosting was worth it, and helps marginally support the product.
