A WYSIWYG editor for personal website?
-
Looking to do a small personal website that will keep folx up-to-date on new music releases I put out, events I'm hosting, and random ramblings.
Curious as to what options are out there - free and easy to use would be ideal set up.
- Free
- Easy
Pick one.

seamonkey's a direct descendant of netscape communicator and still includes a wysiwyg editor. it's pretty good for basic stuff.

Where do you house these music releases? I'm always down to listen to new tunes. Oh, and tho I've never run Ghost, I hear a lot of great things about it. Might be something to look into.

If you’re on macOS, there’s blocs. It seems to pop up on BundleHunt for a fraction of their normal price every once in a while.
Then, there’s RapidWeaver Elements - which just went into Early Access.
However, you might want to evaluate whether a static site generator or some small CMS like GRAV can work for you.
GRAV is surprisingly easy, compared to wordpress

Use WordPress. It's by far the most used content management platform, so if you're a beginner, you'll find the most resources. It's also free and open source.
Then you can, if you want to make it even easier, use a page builder like Elementor or Divi or something. Or not.
There's also Wix for very simple page builds.

Your in self hosting community... You can't build in Wix and selfhost. Wix relies on their infrastructure always being present.

Very many things!
- Matt Mullenweg is a petulant dipshit.
- The plugin ecosystem is possibly the largest vector of malware on the internet.
- Without setting up fail2ban and changing some default configuration values, it's a botnet target.
- It was only ever good for blogging, and there are many better solutions out there now.
Try Ghost.

chiming in, even excluding self host, I wouldn't recommend wix, their sites are so bloated and take forever for me to load, and I've had Firefox just straight refuse to load pages before that are wix run.

I've never actually used it, but Faircamp caught my eye a while ago. https://simonrepp.com/faircamp/
I'm not sure if you can create a blog with it -- it might only be for showcasing your music, no text posts. It definitely looks nice, though.

I've messed around with this a bit and it's really fun. Reminded me of making dumb "websites" in elementary school.

I agree, I only include it as a "woah this WordPress stuff is confusing!" lower barrier to entry.
Try WordPress first. If they're absolutely stuck, wix is a lot more beginner friendly. But yes, beware of the downsides to having your hand held.

D'oh.
Yep. My b. WordPress or bust, really. You can mess around with drupal or Joomla, but WordPress will be the lowest barrier to entry for self hosting.

At least WP is free, Ghost is as "free" until you find out its only useful with the rest of the payed platform. editorjs.io is much better in that sense.

If you want to get the job (of publishing a blog) done fast, and move on, then use WP. If you want to mess around probably look at editorjs.io.
