Many of the recommendations in this thread are great. Go with a SSG; almost all of the bigger players will be able to do everything you list and (a lot) more. Personally a big fan of Astro[1] but Hugo, Jekyll, 11ty, etc. will do the job just fine and there's imo no reason to pick one over the other in your case apart from working with a framework in a language you're comfortable with.

If you're looking to get started right away and don't care about having it hosted by someone else there's also bearblog[2] which I can recommend btw.

Been procrastinating starting a blog for several weeks. I know a bit of code, but I was bothered about using github or the t e r m i n a l to write silly stuff online.

Thanks to your post about bearblog, I now have a blog. A tiny website exactly like I wanted. With really nice themes (that I can customise since I know a bit of code !) all for a fraction of Squarespace asked me. And apparently I have anlaytics also ? Can't wait to use those.

So far, this is the tits. Would be happy with more products looking like this !
