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.

    If django was seriously an option for you, consider looking at hugo. It's a static website generator so all you really need to know is HTML and CSS, it's also fast. Jekyll/Hyde may or may not be easier to use (it's 2023 so IDK) but they are not as fast. You also can't make a faster website than a static website, which django will not be. django will probably require a server which means one additional way to get hacked, and it's the kind of way that actually gets targeted.
