Ask HN: How to Build a Blog?

2 pointsby baddateabout 2 years ago
Hey HN community,<p>I&#x27;m looking to start a blog to write something, but I&#x27;m not sure where to start. I&#x27;m not very experienced with web development, so I&#x27;m looking for advice on the best tools to build a blog website.<p>What tools and technologies should I consider? Should I use a CMS like WordPress or a static site generator like Hugo? I&#x27;d appreciate any advice, tips, or recommendations you can offer on how to get started. Thanks in advance for your help!

I suggest using Hugo or another static site generator, finding a theme you like, and making a few changes if you want. For deployment, you can use a service like github pages or a discount cloud server (digitalocean a good tutorial) plus a CDN to run the site.<p>Otherwise, write a lot.

if you&#x27;re handy with git, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pages.github.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pages.github.com&#x2F;</a> is pretty straight forwards.

I like Gatsby. Deploy to github pages.
