Best SEO-optimized blog post HTML

Hey everyone, I want to publish some blog posts to increase my domain authority and rank for some long-tail keywords maybe.

Currently, I have 1 custom index.html, how would I go about publishing blog posts? Do you have an SEO-optimized single post.html you can recommend?

Or would you recommend me to use something like jekyll/ghost or move the whole domain to something like Wordpress (including the root HTML)?

    Hi, just wanted to add - if you are on WordPress, I would highly recommend using the Rank math plugin over Yoast. They updated it this year and it's a lot more versatile and simple to use than Yoast. You also get a ton of tools for free that Yoast will charge for.

    I'm a web dev and have been using WordPress for quite some time now.

    There is also another CMS called Strapi that is supposed to be good, but I'm still looking into that...

      Also my experience - I migrated Yoast data to Rank math about 2 months ago and have seen good progress on my Google Site Kit plugin - 70.9% page view increase just in the last 4 weeks!

    Bit late to the party here, as other commenters have said, Wordpress is great though make sure to download the Yoast plugin. It's a free plugin that allows you to manage your tags (title and meta description) as well as configure some other technical SEO elements (robots.txt).

    Using a CMS (content management system) will save you a ton of time and help you streamline the content creation and optimization process.

    Good luck with the site!

    I would definitely use Wordpress. Super easy to manage!

    If you are starting now, Hashnode might be an option?
    I don't get paid to say this, but if I didn't have my own custom CMS setup I would go for Hashnode, they have everything in place and even offer backups to github if you ever want to switch.

    Move to a CMS.

    I would recommend having it all on a single domain.

    https://versoly.com/ has an SEO optimised blog and you can collect emails from your blog posts as well.
