I have been surprised and charmed by the number of overseas strangers who tell me they read this blog but the recent shockingly untrue adverts wordpress are running on this blog have given me pause.

Should I pay them to continue? It is relatively simple and I thinking with hosting a wordpress blog I could have 3D models inside posts.

But I am not happy with their ethics and lack of personalization – yes I read science and technology blogs but not fake news (Musk is not leaving Tesla, he recently signed a long-term contract with them).

And as the UNESCO chair projects and outputs grow I will have to create a webpage for that and perhaps a personal blog (my writing is getting worse, I need the practice!)

Are there any suggestions out there for a blog or webhosting site? Advert-free?

I note many sites listing alternatives don’t mention the adverts:

Some possibilities

• Open Edition and Hypotheses
• GitHub Pages  
• Google sites? Gee I see https://sites.google.com/site/nzerik/is still alive!
• Hmm if you only need a tiny 10mb website service: https://www.zoho.com/sites/pricing.html
