What's the best way to expose random CSV/.xlsx files that I can query in the future? We're house hunting and it would be nice have a local db to keep track of price changes, asking prices, photos, etc.

And look up (local) municipal OpenData for an address and grab the lot size, zoning, etc.

I'm using Airtable and sometimes Excel, but it would be nice to have a home (hobby) setup for storing queryable data. Could be cloud hosted but "affordable".

I'm very comfortable in Excel (Pivot Tables, but don't speak SQL. Reasonably comfortable with PowerBI. But that's about it.

Inspired by the recent post about "What's your blog?", what blogging platform do you use?

We started a (WP hosted on WPengine) blog for our startup at http://blog.octanenation.com/ and there are some behind-the-scenes posts that I would like to write that I don't think would fit well on the 'business' blog, similar to what Patio11 has done.

Where do you blog about these things? I'm not crazy about hosting/installing/maintaining a WP installation. Though I'm active on FB it's too closed and not the right 'vibe'.

What do you suggest? Tumblr? Blogspot? Wordpress.com? etc?

Thanks for all the suggestions!
