I am finally going to join the '90s and set up a blog. The audience is mostly students to show how the academic stuff blends with real world professional practice. I'm an adjunct so I have a foot in both worlds.

I have my domain names (parked for years) and free webhosting through my university - but the university doesn't provide any development tools. All of the recommended tools I've run across (weebly, wix, webflow etc.) either want to host the page, manage the domain name, or require a fee to link the page to my host. I'm simply looking for a low cost site builder where I can edit my files and move them to my webspace.

Any recommendations for a WSYWIG style editor? I'd be happy to not have to learn any actual coding, but will if I have to.

The last time I did any of this I was manually tagging static pages in notepad (lol).

I downloaded WordPress and was messing with it. I never ran across the self-host option. It seemed to want me to install it on the university server which is not going to happen. I'll poke around further.
