Welcome to /c/blogging!

This is a community for posting interesting, insightful, or even personal blog posts. You can advertise your own blog, or share other blog posts you find interesting.

Since this is the programming instance, expect many posts to be related to computer science. General blogs are still welcome as well!

Rules:

Don't be rude. Duh.
Don't spam your own blog. Try to limit self-promotion to only once or twice per week.

Looking to start your own blog? Check out Bearblog, Write.as, WordPress (which you can host yourself as well).

Do you self-host it using FOSS tools? Use Wordpress? Design your own using PHP frameworks such as laravel? Just curious what those that do it use?

It's fine for revisions history. I can see every published changed I've made going back 2 years when I created the site. You can actually use Takeout to get the raw css and html of the site if you wanted to as well. Although I wouldn't consider it a user friendly process to do so. No real friendly way to export individual pages either though, so I couldn't easily send my post to like a PDF for instance unless I printed it to PDF through the browser print functionality.

I liked it though because it gave me an easy way to create a consistent looking website that automatically sizes itself for any device without need for any hassle on my part.

Thanks for the explanation. If it works, don't fix it :)
