A blog is a place to share things you care about with others. It's a place on the internet that you own. You choose the topic and the format, and no one can stop you. Above all, it's accessible to everyone, not just those on a specific platform. I've had a blog for almost 20 years. Nowadays, it's the best record I have of what I'm interested in and working on. It has recipes I send to my friends, context for strangers. It's a beacon that attracts similar people, a call for them to reach out. And it works! I get emails about my posts. I helped people travel along the same routes, and fixed people's technical issues. Another blog of mine turned into a lifestyle business. I have met countless friends and two lovers through it. So yeah, do your thing, put it online. Start simple, migrate as needed. I love static sites because they're low maintenance. Hugo and a theme would be good.
