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!

Blogs are pretty static, so I use Hugo to generate a static website, which I then dump in a github repo (I locally generate and then move said files into the right location and then
git add/git push), which I linked to my website/URL host (Vimexx - a Dutch host, which was a requirement as I don't trust American ones).I love how I can now just write my blog in Markdown if I so want to, but raw HTML is available also, so I can mix and match as I wish. Pretty much backend heaven, IMO.
CSS is custom (using "CSS Grid") and took me a long-ass time to get right, but I'm so happy I did! :D
Also, I added a little reference to The Net (yes, it works) :^)
I host my blog on GitHub Pages. It is powered by Hugo.
Another vote for GitHub pages here. I use EleventyJS as the markdown-to-site generator.
It's on my to-do list to replace GitHub pages with an S3 bucket with Route 53 and CloudFlare sometime in the next year or two, but that's really just so I can pull analytics out of CloudFlare.
