Zvi, I host a couple of blogs (such as my own blog and Naval Gazing) on my custom wiki platform. If you’re not able to find another alternative that suits you better, I’d be happy to host your blog as well.
Pros:
I won’t ever add ‘features’ like “a new editor that doesn’t work”
Personal support / assistance
A massive array of features, from LaTeX to LessWrong comment thread transclusion to embedded graphs / charts to Git integration to … lots of stuff
Cons:
No WYSIWIG editor
Less ‘polished’ than Wordpress in various ways
Definitely not a drop-in replacement and cannot seamlessly transfer over old blog contents
Random piece of feedback that made me hesitant: When I went to Naval Gazing the site took 16 seconds to respond, and this happened consistently on reload.
Yep, a fair point. It only happens with Naval Gazing (not my personal blog), for reasons I don’t think would apply to Zvi’s blog, but until the bug that causes that is fixed, it’s a risk.
