@dailyfitnessai I use Jekyll for both my dev blog and business blog. Just write markdown and 💥 Be your own blog platform. No censorship and very portable if some platform start to sensor. If you want to just get started I would write GitHub gists. You can read my tutorial here: https://gist.github.com/eonist/3...

Do you want to start a personal blog or for your brand?
Google trends for checking keyword when blogging!
Certainly! WordPress is a popular choice for bloggers due to its flexibility and user-friendly interface. Blogger, owned by Google, is another easy-to-use option. For a more creative and design-oriented platform, consider Squarespace. If you're into simplicity, Medium is great. Ultimately, your choice depends on your specific needs and preferences.
@alice_mueller Hey thanks for the reply.
Yes I heard of wordpress cause of it's customisability. I'm abit confused about medium though, is it a place where users can write articles of a topic of their choosing?
I think squarespace is the best straightforward blogging platform that can also be turned into a website, etc. - ConvertKit, Substack, and Beehiiv are great for newsletter-type blogs if you want to send your blog posts to an email list!
