advice: blogging sites....
so i've got a friend who will be taking a yearlong round-the-world trip in june, and she wants to keep a travel blog while she's trekking the globe. she's thinking about signing up with Blogger, and i know lots of people like using that site.
anyway, i thought i'd ask all you knowledgeable people about it. short of purchasing a domain and setting up a blog independently with Moveable Type or something, are there any blog sites you would recommend? i could only think of LiveJournal and Blogger. are there other good ones? thank yall in advance.  EDIT: oh yeah, and no Xanga, thanks.

As far as free goes, LiveJournal and Blogger would be my recommendations. AVOID MYSPACE!

I like both Blogger and Livejournal (in that order). Also however there is wordpress and vox not to mention a bunch of other sites, like deadjournal.

I use Wordpress on my personal website. If I had to pick a blogging site, I would definitely pick Xanga. Clean and simple interfaces.

I'm a fan of LiveJournal and a hater of MySpace.

I use Wordpress for my own site as well. If she's going to register her own domain, I'd go that route.
If she just wants to use a service I'd just go the Blogger route. |
