Blogging in 2019

Question: Suppose I wanted a blog or some such option for some hobby-type posting. What's the best way to do it in 2019?

Am I missing some social media option? I have a mostly unused twitter account in my FSogol identify and always have avoided facebook.

What's the best program/service to use? TIA

I began with just a free option (Weebly), then after my book came out, went to Wix, but have been most happiest with my last few years on Squarespace. I use social media to announce my blog entries when I post new ones - Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Here's my blog

My daughter has supported me throughout, and designed my web page.
