This, and also "The blog is about literate programming, and the content of the blog is the code that produce the blog"
my blog is literary criticism of literate programming, and so most of the content of my blog is also the code from your blog.
List of reasons why this is very narrow minded: 1. You still own your work if you post it other places, just not the platform. 2. You own the platform if you host it on a VPS, but not the hardware. 3. You own the hardware if you host it at home, but still, only license the software which runs it. 4. Many more. You want real advice? Ignore this guy, and just start. Most of you people concerned on where you should star…
Too technical?
Use one of the platforms that makes the domain registration and linking it up easy.
The underlying truth behind all such discussions is that too many people focus on the mechanics of content hosting and delivery but have nothing special to actually share. So they will spend all their time engineering the perfect blog site from scratch or moving from platform to platform looking for an ideological fit while no one really cares about consuming any of their output. My advice is always to forget about t…
"You’ll own everything, and it’ll be yours forever." This is overstating it. You cannot "own" a domain name. Domains are essentially rented and eventually (whether on purpose or by accident) your domain name will expire.

I must build static site compilers and markdown dialects so that my children may have liberty to write prose and poetry.

> while no one really cares about consuming any of their output Most people who blog don't aim to be influential writers. It's more about self expression. > they will follow you if you decide to move your work elsewhere in the future Except this almost never happens in the real world
Some do. It's not black and white but there are losses.

Aren't tlds actually purchased? Not that many people are going around buying those to host their personal stuff though.
Say this to a non developer. This just isn't realistic for the majority of people, nor do they care, or should they. What we need is interoperability between services so that backups and transfers are much easier. That isn't the case just yet. If we moved to a more API first world then it would be very much possible. With the advent of GPT related stuff it's clear we're going that direction and the interface for ever…
