Good Blog?

Question

I'm looking for a good site to create a blog on. Something that is very customizable :)

Answer 1

If you're looking to create a blog that will get read and attract visitors, use Blogger (www.blogspot.com). They have a lot of templates available for use that aren't overcrowding. They don't focus on frills as much as they focus on the actual blog, so for a professional blog, it's great.

However, if you want to customize with your own layout and all, try Xanga (www.xanga.com). I wouldn't recommend this if you're wanting to make a professional blog, though, as Xanga appeals mostly to the teenage demographic. It would be fine for a personal blog though.

Answer 2

You will get far better results using Wordpress, plus you can host it on your own domain. This is important because if you choose a hosted option like Blogger, any marketing efforts will be lost if you move the blog later.

Wordpress can be completely customized, has thousands of plug-ins and templates available and is search engine friendly right out of the box. It's also free, so you really can't beat it.
