Blog sites

Post by TonyD »

Hi All

Does anyone in the forums have a blog or uses a blogger site and can offer any advice / experience of which is the best to use or too avoid for that matter?
I'm looking to start a blog but not sure which site is best to go with.

Perhaps we can start of a list of members blogs as well.

Initially I used Google's Blogger. It free and dead simple to setup and use, but it's a bit limited in term of storage and look-and-feel configuration (AFAIK). Here's my test blog on blogger. If you have a web host (GoDaddy.com for me) that offer tons of free open source apps, you can install WordPress, one of most known blog software out there. Here's my blog running on WordPress. This one can be configured to death since I can modify the style sheets and source scripts.

WordPress also offers free hosting at http://www.wordpress.com/. I use that, and have been quite happy with it, though I expect that feature-wise Blogger is pretty similar. http://www.typepad.com/ offers a similar hosting service, but it isn't free.
