Hi,
I’m looking into hosting a blog site for myself - nothing fancy, just a site where I can publish some of my thoughts and ideas. Maybe I also want a section to publish images. So, basically something lean and mostly text only.
What’s the easiest way to set this up for myself?
If you want to self-host it on a server, WriteFreely is as lean text focused platform. Lightweight and pretty easy to spin up and has some basic federation abilities.
If you’re a bit more adventurous, I have a soft spot for Plume it is still under development so can be a little more work to get running, but it does have the ability to host images with a built in media manager and more federation interactivity between instances of Plume and also the rest of the fediverse.
If you’re on a web host, can’t go wrong with WordPress just make sure to use the cache plugins to make sure it is a bit less sluggish.
