@Bali_Maha ↩️ Yeah. So easy with Reclaim and cPanel allows you to choose whichever tool to install on your domain. Some past WP users have switched to something called Ghost. Others use @withknown (where ur Twitter and blogging can all come from your domain). I still use WordPress tho (twitter.com/_/status/1123569661138935808)

@SuzanKoseoglu ↩️ Thanks Maha! So do you pay for both services? Your blog is not Wordpress, right? (twitter.com/_/status/1123587525535203328)

@jgmac1106 ↩️ My approach is a bit more complicated as I wanted to have a few static pages for my canonical content but allow a CMS to handle all the social stuff. I just love @withknown and @microdotblog has values and people behind them I can trust. (https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/s/11Mrr1) (twitter.com/_/status/1123598151666085888)

# @Bali_Maha ↩️ My blog is self-hosted WordPress. I pay Reclaim for hosting, and for my 2 domains (http://mahabali.me and http://creativitycourse.org). WordPress installation (and many other tools on cPanel) is free and straightforward on both of these. I have multiple subdomains, cost nothing (twitter.com/_/status/1123603273565470720)

@colinmadland ↩️ Similar to Maha, I pay for @ReclaimHosting (faculty plan is enough) and have multiple domains (http://merelearning.ca is an archive in Wordpress, and http://Madland.ca is my current calling card site in @getgrav linking to various sub domains) (twitter.com/_/status/1123613116049178624)
# @colinmadland ↩️ Both self-hosted Wordpress and @getgrav are free and open source. I’d suggest starting on Wordpress over other options. Grav has a bit of a learning curve. Wordpress is easy to learn, and takes forever to master. (twitter.com/_/status/1123613825142444032)

# @Bali_Maha ↩️ Easy to learn to use the basics. Some plugins are straightforward too (twitter.com/_/status/1123628946199842817)

# @jgmac1106 ↩️ Starting off our quiet working hour. I am working on installing @withknown sites on @reclaimhosting for the @goifoundation and then working on another #IndieWeb grant focused on diversifying the STEM teacher workforce.
