Thinking of starting a blog

I'm considering starting a food blog.  What (free) sites do you recommend using?  I'd prefer something that's simple to use.

 

Also, I'd love suggestions on what to name the blog.  I'm fairly new to cooking, so I was thinking of using that as a jumping off point.

 

TIA!

Re: Thinking of starting a blog

  • The two big popular sites to use are Blogger (Blogspot) and Wordpress. Both are free (unless you upgrade to wordpress.org, which you would have to pay to host yourself). I prefer Wordpress to Blogger, but I haven't used Blogger in years, so maybe the things they lacked in functionality 3 years ago are better now.

    I have no name suggestions...I think it's a pretty fun thing to come up with the blog's name on your own!

  • I use Blogger and find it to be very easy to use, but I'm sure Wordpress is also easy.  You could always open an account in each to play around and see which you prefer.  

    Your blog name should be something meaningful to you.  You have a great idea for your theme...just brainstorm and it will come to you.  You could always post some name ideas if you want feedback, but it's hard to give suggestions without knowing much about you. 

  • I use Blogger and recently purchased by domain name. I don't have any suggestions really for blog names as it should be something that connects you. For instance, I decided on the name Tastetastic Voyage after hearing Snoop Dog's Fantastic Voyage one day and thought about all the recipes I try. Good luck!
