Jesus or just use Wordpress. Takes like an hour to set up.
I never understood why seemingly everyone uses WP. 'I need a personal, but professional, web presence' 'use this blogging platform', 'I need an e-commerce site' 'use this blogging platform' like what.
Maybe I'm old and WP now does everything and the kitchen sink, but I was there when it started and made no sense.
Now it has the kitchen sink AND vulnerabilities… and an asshole CEO.
As someone who managed it for a while, WP as a platform isn’t horrendous, but there are definitely better alternatives depending on what you need to accomplish.
Sadly it’s still a defacto standard.
What's a good alternative nowadays for someone who isn't super tech savvy and just wants to set up a basic WYSIWYG website?

Seriously, just type in some HTML. It's barely more complicated than the Markdown you're already using for Lemmy, as long as you aren't trying to get fancy with it.
I like weebly and squarespace.
Thanks!
It’s true. They got through some gnarly WYSIWYG problems and, yes, due to plugins they basically do have the kitchen sink available.
There’s some good comparative alternatives as well, but I don’t know much about them yet.
It's not really a blogging platform, it's a content management system.
Thanks, but no thanks, sir. I'll code my website myself.
Not static enough!
