I want to make myself a blog as somewhat of a living resume.
This is mainly because my passion for personal projects speaks more than my actual day to day at work and I'd like to document my escapades in an open source way that I could point others to if they wanted to re-create something I did.
I'm not a web guy, I can do basic HTML templates and a flask backend. I'm sure I could manage a django backend with minor CSS but I'm wondering what else is out there. I love finding weird guy blogs, I keep a list of them, and I'd like my own weird guy blog to do weird guy stuff on. I don't want it to look super fancy, but I also want something more than bare HTML on a white background.
I really just don't know what kinds of tools, frameworks, etc are out there and everything points to high level squarespace type all-in-one setups and I like to be more technical than that.
I'll just make a quick plug for the very popular CMS Joomla (https://www.joomla.org/)
Depends very much what you're looking for if it's a good fit. But it's a more open-source, easy to interface, and more easily customised/technically involved than WordPress.
