New blogging platform

I've been using blogger for a long time, and it's okay, but it's really, really annoying when I try to post code snippets. Manually formatting the text as courier and wishing I could make a block around it... it's just too much work. I want to just write, not have to write HTML or install plugins which don't work or anything like that. So, I looked at a bunch of different blogging platforms:

• Wordpress
  Several folks suggested this, several others suggested against it because their security is... not great. I tried it, and found it to be really annoying, and wound up ragequitting before I even made a post.
• Codrspace
  This looked really good, handles code blocks really easily, but it still looks kinda early. I couldn't find any table of contents for my posts, and didn't see any way to make comments. Close, but not quite there.
• Medium
  Brought to you by the same folks who did Instagram. Tried it out, and it looks very social media-y, but it hits all the things I want - simple UI, code blocks, drag-and-drop for images, comments, all the stuff. It's maybe not perfect, but it's perfect enough.

So, it looks like any new posts will be going over here:

Adding code blocks to posts

One of the things I hate about this blogging platform is there's no easy way to do a code block, and support for entering code is piss poor. Tried the instructions on this blog post and it seems to work, although I don't like that I have to dick around with the HTML.

echo none > /sys/class/leds/led0/trigger
echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/led0/brightness
sleep 1
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/led0/brightness

It's a pain in the fucking ass, you have to edit the HTML and add exactly the right "pre" tags around your code, but at least there's something. I'm still looking for a blogging platform which provides:

• Easy GUI editor
• I don't have to host anything
• Ability to easily handle code
• Ability to include images without having to copy locations

So far this seems to be a trivial list but I'm not finding anything that's really winning me over.
