I never had a blog before, but some friends have been suggesting me to make one for my game, any of you folks have one?
I was thinking of something to be updated weekly like DF bay12 website

Blogs are probably the best and most honest marketing tool there is.
Sacrilegious, I know, but lots of devs I'm friends with use tumblr as a dev blog. I think it's fine if you really just use it to upload progress and communicate with the worthwhile people.
Any platform would probably work fine if your game looks exceptional, it's just easier to get noticed on some of them.

Other than tumblr do you have more suggestions? Or any website that i should evade?

As long as you're showing your progress and not your face.
I'd honestly like more devlogs in video format, they're comfy to watch/listen to but there aren't many good ones.

one could also try to use other simple site templates and other backends like (just listing shit off btw)
>Wordpress
>Blogspot
>Ghost
>Medium (site's bloated as hell w/ JS though)
>LiveJournal (beyond archaic and way past peak user population)
>Svbtle (haven't really seen much though)

Buy a tiny budget VPS for like $10 a year. Good experience seeing up a LAMP stack. It takes like 2 hours tops and after that you can get a job doing it too.
Find cheap hosting here. http://www.webhostingtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=104
Then register a domain and point to it. Set up whatever site backend you want. You will have a really useful web server you can do anything with, including running a budget VPN.

Think it'd be smarter to release a demo of the game, then vlog about progress towards the release version
