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?

    Depends on what you want exactly. Easy and self-hosted are not usually go well together unless you’ve got enough experience.

    Easiest way for blog - use a platform. WordPress.com is great and has free tier.

    More involved, but still relatively easy - static site generator. I use Hugo myself, there is Jakyll that is popular too. Host it for free on GitHub or GitLab pages.

    I would not self-host a public web site for security reasons. But you can run a static site on some cloud service. A personal blog with small audience should be fine on Oracle free tier.
