Picking The Best Free Blogging Site

Picking The Best Free Blogging Site

Choosing a free blogging site can feel overwhelming
because there are so many options. There are several
large free blog-hosting sites that dominate the
blogosphere, but there are also smaller sites. Whether
you decide to join up with an established site like
blogger or whether you choose to sign on with a
relatively new venture depends on what your priorities
are.

Reliability is perhaps the best reason to opt for a large
and well known free blogging site. When you choose to
have an established brand host your blog, you can feel
secure that your blog will not crash often and will not
disappear in the middle of the night. A company that
has been around for a while is likely to have the
resources to make sure that its clients aren't
unpleasantly surprised by any technical glitches.
However, many bloggers decide that this isn't enough
of a selling point. The bloggers who choose to go with
smaller, newer blog hosting sites do so for a variety of
reasons, but perhaps the number one advantage is a
fairly abstract one. Bloggers tend to relish the fact that
the internet is a place where the underdog has a strong
chance of success, and by choosing to have a small
company as a blog host, a blogger is casting his or her
vote for David against Goliath.

By free blogging sites, do you mean internet companies like blogger and wordpress.com ? I wanted to blog, I searched, so I found them. I used them simultaneously to feel what works best for me. I found you have more leeway to edit your template in blogger but, all-in-all, wordpress was more user-friendly, especially for a newbie like me.

i think blogger is a little slow..

Thumblogger is good

I also like blogger as well, but the best by far in my opinion has to be blogcharm, it pays you via paypal every time your blog is seen and not clicked.

I don't understand. Why would it pay you when yor blog is seen?

I like blogger and wordpress.

Found this on Blogcharm:

"On member blogs the top thinbar will contain text ads where members will share 50% of the inventory and revenues generated from them. This will be a mixture of paid ads where members get paid each time their blog is seen and not just when somebody clicks on an advertisement which works much differently than programs like AdSense. Each time your blog is seen you get paid!!"

Pretty neat idea.

blogger is where its at regarding setup and user-ability....then try 2 mess with their ad sense it gets real...tumblr is good for fun and wordpress is something altogether different...ive been a blogger head 4 a while...wordpress is astounding!!!

I love to use tumblr too. I've been on using tumblr since 2008, using that site is so much easy to use. You can re-blog easily and get the clicks easily too.
