I want to setup a blog but I have had problems with vandals in the past hacking into it and changing the content of the post.

I've only worked with Wordpress before.
 
Static HTML files or something custom.

All of the open source and free stuff are as bad as each other. Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla.

Some closed source/paid stuff is a little less likely to be compromised because there may not be as much spread (less targets) and the source isnt readable to find exploits.

Were you keeping your Wordpress install up to date?

I had not kept up with the updates. I would say that I let it go 6+ months and when I came back someone had replaced my post with a bunch of non-sense.

I would have no problem making something similar with HTML but the problem is I want to have a comments section and I don't know where to start with this. Any ideas?
 
I dont know of any comment only scripts or similar. Even still, if you dont keep that script up to date it can happen all over again. Static HTML is pretty much the only thing you can set and forget.

Plain HTML would be the best, but you got to remember a server can always be exploited fairly easy enough as most of the time they are not kept up to date as well. Adding a comments section would add a database and php, if you want people to login and save info, causing more vulnerabilities to be created. Most defaces though are caused by bots more than people targeting you however.
 
The best would be to look up various security bulletins on each product you might want to use. Then do searches on that product being hacked, when it started, etc.

Finally, run it and keep backups.
