I use Jekyll, Bootstrap and host on github pages for my personal blog. I like it because it uses a simpler structure than Wordpress (a static site vs the DB and PHP code behind Wordpress). I kept it to a simple layout as it's just a blog site and I didn't want anything to fancy. I like that Jekyll uses markdown,which I find easy to use to create blog posts. The one downside of hosting on github pages is you can't run all the plugins available to Jekyll. But it's free, so I stay. My site is monicagranbois.com

Another vote for Jekyll + GitHub pages I see! I like the idea of going serverless since hosting WordPress has been a pain for me. I like your site! Very clean and straight to the point :)
