Hi all,<p>I am training for a half-triathlon and want to blog my experiences. I'm sure I will incorporate some data analysis along the way, but right now only plan to document training statistics, nutritions, pictures, text content, etc. I don't plan on calling any APIs (for example, if MyFitnessPal has anything) or embedding other site content into my blog (for example, a Facebook like button). I know html, .NET, and some jsp, but I don't have the time right now to build my own.<p>I've added some that I like the look and feel of:<p>1. http://spion.github.io/posts/why-i-am-switching-to-promises.html<p>2. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7002073<p>3. blogger<p>I think I'd prefer wordpress over blogger, and I like example 1 the most but have never used github for hosting anything like this. Can anyone comment?
Good luck on the half! I started out the same way (started training for an indoor triathlon & wanted to share my experiences).<p>I think wordpress is used by the wide majority of bloggers. It's pretty customizeable & you can get it setup in 5 minutes flat so you can focus on writing rather than coding. I wrote a brief free guide a while back on starting a blog - you might find it helpful[1]. If you want to make it super-custom dashboard for your training - you might need something else, but WP does the trick for a lot of people.<p>[1] <a href="http://impossiblehq.com/how-to-start-a-blog-guide" rel="nofollow">http://impossiblehq.com/how-to-start-a-blog-guide</a>

So, the more I look at Github pages the more I like it. I think Jekyll could be really fun but I need to get this up and running, with a day of content tonight. And I need sleep. So... thoughts?
