I mentioned some free blog sites in a previous post on how to start blogging. But just in case you didn’t see it, or you want more options, here’s a listing of sites where you can host a blog for free.
Blogger: Tops the list, as it’s far and away the most widely used of the free blog sites. Templates are few, but are fairly easy to customize a but more.
WordPress.com: There are two WordPress organizations — .com and .org. The .com site is for a free hosted blog. More templates, a stable environment. Note: WordPress.com will sometimes shut down a blog if they feel it is a “get rich quick” theme. I haven’t heard of this happening often, but it’s something to consider.
LiveJournal: Popular with the non-business set, there are some well-known blogs hosted here. Nice selection of templates.
JoeUser: Not widely known, but seems to be stable and load pretty fast. The downside; I don’t know if it’s just who I picked to look at, but everyone seemed to have the same template.
NowBlogging: Not well known, some of the templates are so-so, some look pretty good.
theBlogs: Seems to load pretty fast, unlike some of the free blogs sites that didn’t make the cut! Templates are very simple.
So there they are; a list of free weblog/blog hosting sites for you to consider. And you know, you can always sign up for a free blog on any or all, to test the waters and see which one you like best.
