       Hey @claudiom, @ChrisWere, @rysiek, @rtwx, @alexcleac,  @kay, and other helpful, knowledgeable peeps:I want to start blogging again, and I want it to be a new blog. I just realized for probably the first time that my old wordpress blog has tons of ads on it. First time I visited it without an adblocker.I'm hoping for a blog hosting solution that is 1) free-software, and 2) will allow me to post updates from the commandline, using markdown, or even plain text. I may be missing something, but I don't quite see the advantage of a federated blogging platform, so federation is optional for this.Do you guys know of any good solutions? I don't mind slapping some simple cgi scripts on my super-simple, dinky personal website, but I'd prefer if it were hosted by someone. I don't mind paying a little for hosting.Any ideas/feedback massively appreciated.Danke schoen!

       @ram Well if you're already using Wordpress, just selfhost your own Wordpress :PYou can even post updates from the command line with https://wp-cli.orgIt also probably has the best support for https://indieweb.org things. I know you didn't really want federation, but since everyone uses WP, there are plugins for it.

       @njha I've thought of that, I'm just not totally sure how to set up and administer WP on my host (nearlyfreespeech.net)
