Having spent my career in system software, I have next to no interest in web technology. So I have tended to use third party sites, such as blogger and wordsmith.social, for blogging. I can write basic HTML, but I prefer markdown or LaTeX. I don't own a single domain and I'm happy with that.
@timbray I can see that would be a concern for many, but I don't personally feel the benefits would outweigh the cost/inconvenience. I moved away from blogger because of Google's behaviour, but was comfortable leaving my old blog in situ. Maybe I should care more about my intellectual property...
@underlap Fair enough. FWIW, though, the state of the art for buying/owning a domain and getting an HTTPS cert both have advanced, the labor and expense are negligible. And publishing statically on such a domain is also a doddle these days. I note that several domains beginning with "underlap" are available cheap.
