In my opinion, the HTML export options of most tools are sufficient for "simple" science blogging. More complex projects can be realized with a CMS. There are several resources that cover this topic: https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome#content-management-systems

True, but static site generators are fairly common nowadays and there are many around. Hosting a CMS requires one to host a server. I use Pelican for my website and to keep the list of publications up to date I had used pelican-cite and now I use bibbase service.

Blogging is also a form of writing isn't it? 😔

Yes of course, blogging is essential for science and we should embrace it. I just have not found an awesome way to do it until now. How is Pelican in regard to SEO?

SEO depends on the specific theme one uses since most of the metadata goes in the html headers. I think m.css - the theme that I use - does it by default. And here is another one:
