This is why I use GitHub pages. Jekyll is good enough, and with GH pages it's super simple. If GitHub were to ever do something weird with it, I can get any static hosting and do the jekyll stuff myself and still control it.
And a static site is much simpler than, say, a Rails-based site (the other thing I was considering when setting it up). Any hosting will do, and I only have to worry about exploits in the web server, not the framework.
- ebiester 14y agoThat's the route I think of going, but I still don't think that's controlling your presence on the web -- you're losing all your google juice if you ever have to move. What's the difference between that and any other system that allows you to export your data?
- pyre 14y agoYou can use your own domain with GitHub Pages, then you don't lose any 'Google juice' if you move to another hosting provider.
