Blogs are great if you want to publish content, and don’t want to worry too much the technical stuff. Most of them are pretty straightforward, and they are mostly free for the average user. They can be really useful, and many of them can take the place of a regular website. Look through the list here, and find the best one for you. Then start bloggin’!
- Axess is a free service to create web pages. They do not provide image hosting, so you will need to use another service to upload your images.
- Blogger lets you in just a few steps. In a matter of minutes you can start posting text, photos, videos, and more to your blog. Post as often as you want; it’s free. You can have a domain name, like example.com, and they’ll still host your blog.
- Blogspot is exactly the same service a Blogger.com
- Gabbr allows you to read and comment on the latest news across major news sources as well as the blogosphere. Bloggers can submit their blog posts to appear on the front page for others to comment on. Looks like a busy discussionforum, somewhat cluttered.
- Livejournal is an online journal service with an emphasis on user interaction. A basic, fully-functional account is free, while Paid accounts receive access to premium features. The USD 19.95 a year price for Paid Accounts is only available with automatic payments. LiveJournal Support is primarily run by volunteers.
- Moveable Type lets you build websites and blogs with Movable Type’s integrated suite of social networking, blogging and content management features.
- Posterous is a really simple service where you can email your contents to the Posterous email, and that way create a webpage with them. Basically, you attach photos, vidoe, mp3’s etc. You can also autopost to other blogs via Posterous.
