Blog Hosts

There are loads of blog hosts to choose from to create your blogs like Blogger , Wordpress and Typepad to name but a few, and most of them are free.

I have been using Blogger for hosting my blogs. It’s owned by Google, so if you have a Google account already you can use that to access Blogger, it also means if you’re using Adsense or Adwords they can all be accessed with the same account, password and email (handy!).

Blogger is free to host your blog, and since out of beta they have created New Blogger, which uses a drag-and-drop template editing feature which allows you to easily add Adsense, banners, buttons, photo’s etc to your blog and arrange them very easily with no html experience needed. Blogger also has an advanced feature that lets you point the blog to your website, as well as keeping everything together you don’t have to have a blogspot url, you can use the websites url.

I have found Blogger to be very user friendly and easy to create blogs, set up and customise them. They have a very extensive help center including Blogger Status, Blogger Buzz and Blogger Help Groups. So if you need a question answered you’ve got a good chance!

There are a lot of other good blog hosts out there, but this has been my experience of this one. Keep testing - I’m going to...
