Which blog site is the best?

Question

Easy to use, but still highly customizable. Or as close to it as possible. Also, I would like to make categories and subcategories, eg. for the former: Research and Personal, and then under Personal stuff like Movies, Philosophy, etc. Still thinking about it. Anyway, your comments are appreciated.

Answer 1

Wordpress is best in my humble opinion. They do not allow any java or shockwave though.

Blogger is the most highly customizable if you want to add java or shockwave. Unfortunatley they don't have much in the way of tech support. I recently had a problem with my blog. 2 weeks of going through every possible means of communication they offered me (no you can't just email someone) the problem was still there. So I left and went to wordpress (whom responds within 24 hours to any tech support questions).

Answer 2

If you’re going to start your blog at your own domain with different pages, you need a web host providing blog tools.

One of these services is reachable at: http://bluehost-service.atspace.com . Their service is really great and easy to use.

Answer 3

I suggest using FreeWebs.  It is very easy to use and looks very good too.

The website is- http://members.freewebs.com/

Answer 4

You can always try http://www.blogspot.com/

Free, highly customizable, no ads, etc. etc... I've used it for a while now and had no problems. Huge community too. Powered by Google, so it's bound to be good.

Answer 5

I really like wordpress because they don't put ads on your page all the time, it's free, there are a bunch of templates, you can change the header image, and it works with the iPhone.
