3. The blog isn't working... They are using an old program that uses HTML
and might be hackable? I'm dumb in these matters. All I know is it doesnt work and hasnt worked well for awhile now.

4. html is not any more hackable than anything else.
If you have bad passwords, or use Windows as your server, you are likely to get hacked no matter what you use.

5. Agreed.
It's the platform that gets hacked. HTML is a stateless, display only protocol which is in principle secure. But the server software might have holes in it when its configured to execute "active content" in the form of scripts. M$ Web servers are notorious for having security holes large enough to drive a Hummer through.

I use Apache. Tight, fast and secure.
