Still Wordpress. There are a huge number of newer choices, including a great slew of static site generators. And many of them really are great.

Wordpress is still pretty good if you just want to get going and concern yourself only with content.

I have personally used hexo[1] successuccessfully in th epast and would recommend it. Though any ssg, likd zola[2], should be enough. If youyou're comfortcomfortable writing html directly it will also suffice. Make a list of what you need (posts, kmages, videos , comments) and compare SSGs[3].
