Best site for a blog

I am looking to start a blog so that my family and friends from out of state can see my work, hear my day to day ramblings, and get a little more of a personal experience than Facebook can offer... I am looking for your recommendations on a free blog, one that will allow me to upload photos, etc.

I am looking forward to hearing your recommendations!

 

Thanks Ladies! 

Re: Best site for a blog

  • Wordpress and Blogger are, I think, the most popular.  Blogger is incredibly easy to use; it functions much like a Word doc when you're actually creating posts.  If you have a Google account, you can use that to sign in and access Blogger.  It's pretty simple to upload photos, too.

    They have quite a few templates to choose from for the design, otherwise just google "Blogger template" to get the code you need for tons of other options.  I think you can also pay to register your own domain (like jesseswife.com) instead of using jesseswife.blogspot.com if you want.

    Here's my lame attempt at a blog, if you want to see an example:

  • Thanks, I will look into those...and yes, I do have a Google account!
  • I use blogger for mine and have no issues with it. Very easy to use, and people throw out a lot of free templates for using which is nice. Or if you want you can design your own and its not too hard :)

  • I also recommend blogger.  I just started a blog through there and it's super easy to use.  There's a link in my sig if you wanna see an example.

  • I have Blogger... take a peek at my blog below :)

  • I've been with Blogger for about 6 years now and have had my current blog with Blogger for over 3 years.  Blogger is super duper easy to use and it offers a lot of variety when it comes to templates too.

     I've never had an issue with them.  I have been around Wordpress a little too but have found it to be a little bit more difficult for a beginning blogger to use.  

  • My blog is through blogger.  I had started to wish I'd used wordpress, and recommended it to DH when he decided to start a professonal blog, but it turns out there are some serious limitations with wordpress that I didn't know about.  Don't tell him, but I now recommend blogger over wordpress.
