I have experienced using WordPress. But, I think it's overkill using WordPress for a blog. I moved from WordPress to Jekyll. It's stored on GitLab Pages. The use case that I need for a blog is simple, I can write posts and user can give a thought.

I chose Jekyll as my current blog engine because I don't need a database. I can store all of them in static contents. What about comment system? I can use third-party software, like Disqus.
