Thanks and got be careful fucking google tried to take me to ai sloop. Found them both look good. Will try Hugo first, looks like I can do less coding with it. Might redo my another website with it as well.

Just did Eww fuck AI don't want use fhat garbage.
SSGs are not related to AI and have been a thing for a long time. You won't see anything about AI in the wiki article.

Okay but I can write HTML code just don't want to.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Well, if you want you can design your website using the elementor tool and a locally hosted wordpress (you can use local to host the wordpress). All of it without having to know how to code.
After you are done with your design, use a static plugin generator (it's called staatic) to generate your website. It mostly keeps all of the functionality that you desire (html, css, js) but it's static which means that you can't have a database.
You can take the static website and host it on any hosting service of your choice. GitHub is a very good fast option. You'll have to own your domain name though.
Speedtest the website, and then optimize.

Is there not federated WordPress?
Maybe write freely? It's federated and blog format

Yeah but then it wouldn't be on my website. And no thanks to WordPress they enshitfication and don't allow you to change the code. So fuck them. Also they destroy Comicpress best thing they had for webcomics.
I get it, but you can pretty much bend Wordpress to do anything you want, even without coding. I for one suck at coding and have found a Theme I use for building all my sites and customers as well.
I don’t know you whatsoever and you don’t know me, so take this with a huge grain of salt, but sounds to me you are looking for a reason not to bring back your webcomic.

Grav CMS?

Idk if this would work but bearblog is a nice platform for releasing stuff. You can customize it a lot and the UI is pretty nice.

Using a SSG such as Hugo, you don’t write HYML. You use Markdown. Which is the same format that you use for posts on Lemmy. You don’t get the full MS Word of the formatting gamut but in exchange your posts look the same anywhere you put them that uses Markdown.
In fact there is someone that made a front end that literally uses Lemmy as the backend for your posts.

I'm hosting writefreely with picsur as the image host for my blog. They're pretty lightweight. Otherwise a static site generator like others suggested.
-
I will look into that. Thanks. And WordPress doesn't let you tinker with the base code like they used to.
They do if you host it yourself. I've done a fair bit of WordPress development. You can add your own plugins that override base functionality, and if that isn't enough you can just modify the base code directly (but you'll have to reconcile it with updates if you want to update).

Thsnks I look imto it.

No just don't want to use WordPress.

Do you find that Writefreely federates well? I've tried hosting it a couple of times but my accounts weren't discoverable on many other Fediverse instances. I never got to the bottom of why. I really like it though and would love for it to work out.

If you want to make changes without dealing with update hassles:
- Make a child theme to your current theme which inherits from it.
- Add a functions.php to your child theme, which only includes specific overrides for functionality you want to override.
- Presto change-o you are immune to stuff getting ruined with updates. (Aside from API changes and things but those are relatively rare in my experience, for the most part it all just works.)

Fair enough. Keep us posted on what you ended up using.

WordPress can be federated https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/

You need to follow it, but the thing is, you're probably just as well off posting a link from your own account. It comes up as a separate account for me. I don't think the federation there is really worth it

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Yes.
First, yes, WordPress can be federated with a plugin.
If you're looking for the easiest, most developed, option, it's usually WordPress.
Alternately, there are many ways to join anything that produces RSS to the Fediverse.
(And of course WordPress also supports RSS)
(And lots of other hosted options support RSS!)
Static site generators like Jekyl and 11ty are particularly well suited to building a website to share comics.
Both can also produce an RSS feed, with the correct plugin.
