If someone wants to start a blog, and they'd like the content they publish to stick around on the internet for as long as possible into the future, what are their best options?
Buying a domain is tricky because domain names expire
GitHub Pages is pretty great, because GitHub is free and has, to-date, a great track record of not breaking *.github.io content
What are other great options? WordPress.com I think are good on this front
I don't trust anyone with less than 10 years of track record
