     @Morghur Depends on what your skills are. If you can do basic HTML and CSS you could use something like Neocities. You have, I think, up to 1GB for images and other things for your site.

     @Morghur @arcanicanis but basically so many news sites/news blogs, especially in this side of the web, or creative types posting their content love WordPress because of the massive ecosystem for it and the fact it works well enough to drive a news site.
     
     Also you can self host it so you don't need to worry about corpo censorship and it has a fedi plugin even.

     >fedi plugin
     I want to know more, if it's not much of a problem. Is it like a link to my fedi profile? or something else?

     @Morghur if you go WordPress id ask @arcanicanis because WordPress is open and there's lots of hosting for it that's managed but there's also many bad ways to do wordpress.
     
     Namely using dodgy plugins that duplicate features it already has is a good way to fuck it up. It has a bad rep because of bad admins.

     I got recommended Mataroa but i don't know if a bonafide retard like me can handle wordpress.
     
     But maybe being in the normieverse gets me more traction. Who knows

     Last I remember it only federates blog posts and comments. If the purpose is a blog, then yes, I'm sure that's fully within the use-case. WordPress is fine and pretty mainstream, just don't install a lot of plugins as that increases security risk, as really anyone can publish a plugin (including a lot of web designers that think they know how to code).

     If you need any custom theme (or turning an existing design into a WordPress theme), guidance, or auditing, I can provide that.
