How simple do you want to go? I don't blog myself, but I kind of like the barebones, minimalist blogs hosted via Bear, Mataroa, and Write.as. The latter you can host yourself using WriteFreely.

Or you can pick a static site generator and a clean, simple theme. Lots of options, whether you want to DIY or go hosted.

Thanks for your input :) I would like to go simple but not straightforward 100% plain text. I'd like room for experimentation. Add images, a colour palette, search functionality,...

Even though I like Mataroa's philosophy, it seems waaay too minimalist for me. I didn't know that was possible!
