Honestly writefreely can be as elaborate as you want it to be if you self-host it. There are lots of options under the hood as well as the CSS being fully customizable. I host my own with a single core, 1GB of RAM and 16GB of storage and even that is overkill as pictures and videos are just embeds from other platforms. Plume is deprecated, and micro.blog is paid and not self-hostable. There is microblog.pub though which I haven't tried yet but looks promising.

Yeah is something I've been keeping an eye on. I don't even dislike WordPress, but there's a lot of clutter on your blog unless you're running Firefox and uBlock. That said when I look at write.freely articles, they're just a title and text. I've never seen a logo, header or imbedded image and £6 a month to host maybe 3 posts a year seems excessive.
