   It is a nice mini-blog, it's for free and such but

   As a mini-blog, it is a nice alternative for Medium to publish and share information about programming.

   However, the community and the organization are biased toward social justice (and they are open to it). You can read its Code of Conduct, it is so vague and politically leads (I prefer a term of service because it defines fair rules for everybody). So it alienates developers that we don't care about politics in pro of people that want to talk about any other topic such as sexuality, how women are unprivileged, and such. It even mandates to use inclusive language. Good grief.

   My main complaint is the quality of the community. It is not StackOverflow (so we don't want to ask for an answer here), and most of the top topics are clickbait, such as "how to become a rockstar developer in ... days", "100 tips to become a better programmer" (and it doesn't even talk about programming).

   Technically this "mini blog" site allows us to use markdown, and it is okay. However, the whole experience is really basic. Even the template is ugly.

   🏁 Competitors: Medium

   👍 Pros:    Free

   👎 Cons:    Social justice|Basic features|Quality of content

   Nice UI and payment gateway

   It has been a rich experience with Weebly. The platform provides nice user interface and payment gateway options, though it becomes expensive with every addon feature.

   🏁 Competitors: QPe

   👍 Pros:    Ui is very attractive

   👎 Cons:    Expensive

• Moving a weebly site from ipage?

  - How can I export all the site data (including media - images etc, and static data - js, css, if relevant?) so that I can import it into weebly.com? Is there an export/import option in the weebly site builder? I can't find much documentation online on this ... I'm hoping I can just export to XML, JSON or something and then do a straight import on the weebly.com side - or am I being too optimistic? Source: about 1 year ago

• Do you know of a more flexible/better blogging platform than Blogger? (It needs to be simple and straightforward to use.)

  I use a free account at weebly.com. I have created a web page for each ancestor and then post photos and information. The thing I like is the content can be updated as I find new things. I don't use the site as a blog but you could: https://www.weebly.com/features/start-a-blog. I suggest that you also have a look at wordpress.com and wix.com.
