What is the best website to create a blog on? - Emily - 02-28-2013 04:39 PM

I want to create a blog, but was wondering what the best (free) site to use is. I want to be able to share with my family/ friends in an easy wasy and be able to add pictures if possible!

My too suggestions are Blogger or Tumblr... As they're both easy to use and best of all free! I use both and find them really efficient. Hope i helped! This is my blog: http://marmiebell.blogspot.co.uk/

For Free you have multiple options.

Wordpress.com - A large community for blogging with social features built in. It's also a good starting point to one day get a host and create your own site. Wordpress.org is the same software that Wordpress.com uses and it's free to use when hosting your own site with hosting providers like FastWebBuilder.com

Blogger.com - Blogger is owned by Google so they have integrated all of their services with it, including google +, youtube etc.

LiveJournal.com - This is kind of the Grand Daddy of blogs. They were originally out of San Fran, but are now owned by a Russian media company. Still a very good site with many features for interacting socially.

Tumblr.com - Tumblr is a new comer and has a lot of social activities associated with it.

I would suggest getting an account with all of them since they are free. In order to reach the most people you may want to link your blog to multiple sites so you are easily found.

You should then get a Stumbleupon.com account so you can share your blog with other like minded people. You can see other people's sites that you may enjoy very much but did not know they existed.

I hope this helps!

The best free blog service is definitely Blogger.com . It's completely free and no force ads (Wordpress.com add forced ads under your post), build-in Adsense support (if you want to earn some money latter), can be fully customized (Wordpress.com you can't). More details can be found from this articel "Which Is the Best Free Blog/ Blogging Website, Blogger or Wordpress" at http://www.bloggerjourney.com/2013/01/which-is-best-free-blog-blogging.html
