however i wanna try an online one and see if it sticks better with me!
the sites i mention are gonna let u customize to an extent but maybe not to to your hearts content!
1. https://bearblog.dev/ - i use bearblog myself sometimes, its a nice free blogging site ^-^ it uses markdown (which is a simple language n pretty easy to pick up) to format the contents of your blog, and while the css is class-less you can do a lot if you get creative with it!
2. https://www.dreamwidth.org/ ive never used dreamwidth myself but its a lot like livejournal! (which is still around, so maybe you can check that out too)
3. https://zonelets.net/ zonelets is a popular blogging engine i see a lot on neocities - this probably gives you the most control over the theme but you would need to host it yourself and do a bit of coding 
im sure theres others out there im missing!!
