Blogger.com
Blogger, now owned by Google, is completely free and gets you up and running minutes.Wordpress.com
Wordpress.com is a companion to Wordpress.org, which is a more complicated version of the software you install on your own server. Wordpress.com is a very straightforward blogging tool. However, it does have more options and flexibility than Blogger.Joomla.com
This is a slightly more complicated blog creation software. It offers much more flexibility, but is not as easy to get up and running as Blogger or Wordpress.com.Installation of Joomla requires downloading the Joomla package file, uploading it to your web server, and configuring it.
These three blogging options are all free, and require varying degrees of computer ability.
Some other blog platforms include:
- Xanga
- Livejournal
- Vox
- Typepad
- Movable Type
- Myspace
- bebo
- hi5
- blogspot.com
