[amsat-bb] Recommendation for project website

Hi All,
I was wondering if folks had any recommendations for website services for hosting simple project pages.  I do a lot of little side projects and occasionally folks ask for more details.  I tend to keep things scattered across multiple media (lots on github), and collecting up everything in a 'useful' way isn't very efficient.  I've considered making better use of github markdown, but I'm not sure thats the best way to go for all projects, particularly if I want to post a lot of images.

Some examples of the types of 'project' sites that I like and am looking to start include the following:
https://www.w6pql.com/
http://www.w1ghz.org/
https://destevez.net/

Wordpress seems like it might be a good way to go.  For the moment I'm just looking for something simple where I can 'publish' projects a bit better than just posting code or KiCAD designs on github.  Eventually I might branch out to this new fangled social media stuff...but for the moment I just want to get the projects written up and posted.

Any and all recommendations would be welcome.  I'm not opposed to pay sites (mainly to remove annoying ads from the page) as long as the interface is relatively simple and I like the look and feel of things.

Thanks in advance,
-Zach, KJ4QLP
