This is probably the second or third time that I&rsquo;ve tried to create a blog over the years.</p> <p>Previous attempts have involved creating a <a href="https://github.com/ScrewTurnWiki/wiki" target="_blank">wiki</a> or thinking about using <a href="https://wordpress.org/" target="_blank">WordPress</a> with a backend database such as <a href="https://www.mysql.com/" target="_blank">MySQL</a>.</p> <p>While <a href="https://medium.com/" target="_blank">Medium</a> and <a href="https://www.blogger.com/" target="_blank">Blogger</a> are popular blogging platforms, they often require a subscription, and I feel that you&rsquo;re not really in control of your own content.</p> <p>Therefore, I wanted something that was simple, portable, version-controlled, easy to maintain and secure. I also didn&rsquo;t want particularly want to run a Virtual Private Server (VPS) as that seemed overkill.</p>
