Ask HN: Which provider are you blogging at

Hosted Wordpress does not give you much flexibility, typically. Medium seems to intentionally enforce a style consistent with other blogs on the service. Tumblr's editing tools can be annoying sometimes but in my experiences it has been the most customizable.
I think it's worth it to host yourself, but if that isn't an option and you want flexibility then I'd go with Tumblr.

There are several hosts that will let you host. I prefer Github Pages because of the simplicity of Jekyll and that it uses Git and plus you get free Github CDN and a nice github subdomain.
Otherwise self-hosted Wordpress or Anchor Cms is the best option.

thanks, I have started a github page but didnt think of it as a blog. Is that how you're using it?
I use Wordpress on my own domains as /blog It only takes a few minutes to configure. Get a few plugins & done.
I want to blog on a platform which supports easy styling of code blocks, pretty text / html, and cross social site posting (to facebook, twitter etc.)
what are you guys using?
