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).

If you're tech-savvy, check out Hugo!

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?

I went with a wordpress-like alternative called Ghost. I believe it’s open sourced as well and feels like a more modern, lighter version of Wordpress.

I like the general vibe of the admin portal, and it checks all the boxes for my needs. And it’s hosted from my homelab. So the only cost is a domain, aside from electricity of course.
