How to Build a Blog?

Question

Hey HN community,I'm looking to start a blog to write something, but I'm not sure where to start. I'm not very experienced with web development, so I'm looking for advice on the best tools to build a blog website.What tools and technologies should I consider? Should I use a CMS like WordPress or a static site generator like Hugo? I'd appreciate any advice, tips, or recommendations you can offer on how to get started. Thanks in advance for your help!

I suggest using Hugo or another static site generator, finding a theme you like, and making a few changes if you want. For deployment, you can use a service like github pages or a discount cloud server (digitalocean a good tutorial) plus a CDN to run the site.Otherwise, write a lot.
