My brother wanted to start writing about his recovery process[0] and asked me to help him make a blog. He said he wanted to learn a bunch of stuff so he could be self-sufficient enough to not have to ask me/"need my permission" to go from written post to publish. He had already bought a domain that came with some bottom-of-the-barrel free shared hosting service. I pointed him towards Wordpress, he set up the entire thing himself, and now has a sense of ownership he really appreciates.

For me, Jekyll, Github Pages, and a couple lines of CSS were nothing[1], but there should be as little barrier to entry as possible if you have something to say

[0]: https://andrewtag.com (it's not self-promotion if it's someone else's blog)

[1]: https://amtunlimited.gihub.io (this is definitely self-promotion, feel free to ignore)




The link to your blog gives an HTTPS error for me in Firefox.


That's embarrassing...I spelled it wrong

https://amtunlimited.github.io


Both URLs fail for me due to SSL issues.


That's awkward...

The top one just doesn't have it, the bottom is misspelled

amtunlimited.github.io
