What is your blog stack?

WordPress, because I just want to write. I've been running it since 2004 or 2005, and I don't see a point in fixing what isn't broken.

I self host my blog with WordPress. It's easy to use and works well enough. No real complaints other than the lack of vim bindings in the editor, although I imagine there is a plugin for that.

There is a small twist to my hosting. I host my blog alongside a number of other apps I have built with DigitalOcean's managed Kubernetes offering. Not for everyone but I like it.

I use Blot https://blot.im/ which costs $3/mo.

You can use a Dropbox folder or a Git repository, have full control of the styling of your blog, things automatically sync and work, etc. I've found it worth the price, which I don't even notice.

Shameless plug: I am using my own "stack" to publish Github Issues on Github Pages.

See https://github.com/dbriemann/glyph-zero to see how it works.

I use a modified HTMLy [0] self-hosted blog for https://padiracinnovation.org/News/

I mainly refactored a few huge PHP files into many files having "one function per file" and added statistics.

What attracted me to HTMLy instead of Wordpress was the capability to understand the code base and provide modifications as I feel needed.

I did try to add comments to pages, but was not satisfied with what I wrote.

I use Hugo, I made my own template by modifying an existing open source one. I write my articles in vim and just render and rsync to my blog.

I use to use wordpress, but I did not want to deal with all the updates etc. One of my wordpress sites did get hacked at one point, probably due to a third party template.

The one thing I wish I had a little more control over would be the placement of new articles on the front page.

Self Hosted WordPress. No plugins. just a simple theme with caching enabled and also behind cloudflare. Works good enough for me.

I used WordPress for many years. Recently, I experimented a lot with Jekyll, Hugo and Pelican, and settled on Hugo, hosted on a regular web host. I move files via sftp and a script. Right now I'm wiring it up to Emacs.

But I'm not convinced Hugo is the answer for me yet, and might settle on Pelican.

Hugo, self hosted on Digital Ocean. I keep it all in git, and push/pull both locally and remotely.

I use jekyll, with a script to render each page/post and inline only the css rules that apply to the dom.

Hosted on google app engine which is cheap as, it serves static files quickly while making it easy to add server-side logic where needed.

boring Wordpress, works great, no bike shedding needed, no tinkering needed.

I'm old school.

Not a fully featured blog, but my https://github.com/Cristy94/markdown-blog

I've been using Ghost ever since I switched my blog from WordPress. I've been pretty happy with it and their editing experience is great. I host it on Digital Ocean.

middleman for static site generation, Skeleton CSS, font awesome for icons, github actions for deployment pipeline, aws s3 for hosting and aws cloudfront as a CDN.

I'm setting up a blog soon. I'm planning on using pandoc and some shell scripts to generate the html from markdown and host on github pages.

Hosted on github pages, built with hugo using a custom theme. I just create markdown files and push them, then CI builds and deploys the static html

Jekyll and S3. Simple to do and cheap.

I'm a computer enginerring student and made a blog with LAMP stack along with WordPress and Divi theme.

Xcode with Publish (static site generator written in Swift) -> Generate -> SFTP to server

VuePress and GitHub pages. 0$

GitBook.com I care about making content rather than styling.
