How do you host your blog?
How do you host your blog?
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?

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) :^)

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.

I host my blog on GitHub Pages. It is powered by Hugo.
