Are there any recommendations on low overhead blogging platforms? I've been looking for something that I can turn on and start writing without a lot of setup. In addition, something that has an easy interface that I can just focus on the writing.
I've looked at Medium and it looks pretty good. Any other recommendations?

- cody_bonney 13y agoTake a look at the Ghost blogging platform. It has a few quirks, but it's very simple and fast. I've enjoyed using it for the last few months. https://ghost.org/ https://ghost.org/
- lauradhamilton 13y agoI think it's valuable to own your own domain vs. being at the mercy of Medium / Tumblr etc. Blogger has free hosting, and it's easy to use. Another good option is Wordpress. You can get an account set up (it's basically turnkey) on a full-service hosting provider such as Mediatemple.
- mark_l_watson 13y agoI like using Jekyll on my own domain ../blog I use a makefile with targets for running Jekyll, for rsync'ing everything to one of my servers, and a default target that does everything. My workflow consists of cd'ing to .../blog/_posts, copying the last blog entry, changing the file name to be relevant to the new post, editing the file, and cd ../..; make That might sound like a small hassle, but I like this better than other alternatives I have used like blogger and wordpress.
